The House Will Not Adjourn The 112th Congress Until A Credible Solution To The Fiscal Cliff Has Been Found
During his weekly Colloquy with Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor made clear that the House will not adjourn the 112th Congress until a credible solution to the fiscal cliff has been found:
As was announced last week, the House has a number of outstanding legislative items that we must resolve and first amongst them is the so-called fiscal cliff. Though the House's targeted adjournment set in October of last year was December 14, that is no longer the case. Instead, Members are advised that the House will now be in session the week of December 17, exact days will be announced next week. Members are further reminded that the House will not adjourn the 112th Congress until a credible solution to the fiscal cliff has been found.
