Capitol Hill This Week - What to Watch For - UPDATED

Below are the U.S. House and Senate activities currently scheduled for this week that relate to Mississippi River Basin water resources. In addition to those listed meetings and hearings, the House Natural Resources Committee has scheduled a bill markup session for Thursday morning, but has yet to name the bill or bills that will be the subject of the meeting.  Links are provided to the relevant pages on the Internet, and, where appropriate, to pieces of legislation. Many Congressional proceedings are webcast live, and many of these should be, as well (follow the appropriate link).  All times are Eastern.  This page will be updated as warranted.
