Excerpt from Energy and Climate Debate -

After a brief return to Washington, D.C., the House adjourned September 21 and the Senate adjourned early the following morning until after the elections. Congress will return shortly thereafter to begin a lame duck session during which debates over tax extenders, energy efficiency legislation, defense reauthorization, the farm bill, and more will take place.
