RollCall - Briefing on Today in Congress
THE SENATE: Convenes at 2 p.m., with a procedural vote scheduled for 3 p.m. on a bill that largely reflects the tax deal that Obama cut with Republicans. The vote will be held open for a few hours as senators stream back into town from the weekend, but no surprises are expected. The legislation will advance, and a vote on passage will occur as early as Tuesday night. The measure then heads to the House, where Pelosi faces some tough decisions about how to handle it.
