Below is a tentative calendar for the first session of the 106th Congress. It shows the House and Senate recess schedule for 1999.
Congressional schedules are subject to change due to circumstances during the session.
The biggest factor in this year's schedule is likely to be the impeachment trial in the Senate, which may delay work on appropriations and other bills indefinitely. If you plan to come to Washington, D.C. to meet with your Senator or Representative, keep in mind that Members are usually in town from Tuesday through Thursday, and travel home on weekends. While Hastert's vow may keep them working longer weeks in Washington, it is still best to plan office visits to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. This assures that you will not be competing for your Member's attention with hearings or floor votes.
