*BOG GROUP* US House voting on TAA, TPA, and Trade Enforcement and Customs [View all]

In progress - on CSPAN.

HR 1314 "Trade Act of 2015" contains TAA and TPA (as packaged and approved by Senate). The House leadership planned 2 separate votes on the TAA portion first, and if TAA passes, proceed to TPA portion.

HR 644 "Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015" Trade enforcement and Customs, would be the final related trade bill.

President Obama has met with the Democratic leadership and the Democratic Caucus to admonish his colleagues to support these bills. The House was in recess while the president was making this final push.

The House has just gaveled back in at 11 ET, votes to follow when debate ends.

Don't you miss pork? I do!
