Legislative Program

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCALISE. I thank the gentleman from Maryland for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I would like to request if the gentleman could let us know what the schedule is expected to be for the remainder of today.

Obviously, the reports are that there may be a CBO score today. I also want to ask the gentleman: Would it be anticipated that there would first be a CBO score before any final passage of legislation?

Mr. SCALISE. I thank the gentleman. So regarding the CBO score, right now we are probably at about one-third of the bill being scored. Would it be expected that it wouldn't come up until the full 100 percent would be scored or something less than that?

The other question would be, if the Rules Committee is going to meet again to come out with an additional rule based on the Senate scrub, would there be additional debate on the bill added as part of that rule or would it just be a debate on the rule and then straight into final passage?

Mr. SCALISE. So for the three remaining committees, we have Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and Judiciary that still haven't been scored. Would all of those be at least in a table? The remaining committees that have not been scored, would they be part of a breakdown table at a minimum, whether or not it is the more detailed version, as well?

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCALISE. So Ways and Means and Judiciary would also be in a table before something came?
