In the House, the House Rules committee will hold the first markup of the House Lobbying Reform bill HR 4975 this Thursday to markup the provisions that fall under their jurisdiction. There has been a commitment by Republican leadership to go through the committee process with all provisions of the bill, which means as many as 5 different committee markups may occur. At the same time, the House calendar for next week has lobbying reform and 527 reform legislation on it for consideration. In the Senate, as reported earlier, Frist was successful in invoking cloture and the Senate will take up a Feinstien amendment (SA 2962) and then a manager's amendment. Then a vote on final passage. Wonder what will be in the manager's amendment?
