The House will consider, among other business, designating October 2007 as Country Music Month and naming a Miami courthouse, a United States Border Patrol station in California, and Post Offices in New Jersey and Michigan.
Issued by Democratic Leader, Rep. Stenny Hoyer (D-MD), the Weekly Leader is a schedule of bills to be considered before the House and activity on the House floor. The schedule for the upcoming week may be seen here.
However, on Wednesday, when asked on the House floor if there was a possibility of the bill being added to the calendar, Hoyer left room for the bill's consideration.
"Two bills we thought we might deal with this week I notice are still not on the schedule: the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I wonder if my friend has any information about either of those bills?" inquired Rep,. Roy Blunt (R-MO), the House Minority Whip asked Hoyer.
Hoyer reploed that "both of those bills are under consideration for addition to the calendar. They have not been added at this point in time, but they are both possibilities."
