Agreement on Energy and Water Appropriations Expected This Week ECA Staff | 9/4/2018
The House has returned from August recess this week, a necessary ingredient for progress on
Appropriations, POLITICO reports. Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander, who chairs the committee on Energy-Water spending, previously told reporters he expects the "minibus" Energy-Water package, H.R. 5895 (115), to be negotiated this week, a sentiment Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby also
echoed. "Our goal is to have our conference immediately after we return from Labor Day," Alexander told reporters when asked about the multi-pronged appropriation that would cover fiscal 2019 funding for the Energy Department and water projects, among other things.
Congressman Mike Simpson, Chair of the House Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee will speak about the title at the Cleanup Workshop next week in Alexandria, VA. To sign up for the Cleanup Workshop, visit www.cleanupworkshop.com.
