Congress A high-tech industry group urges Congress to take prompt action on key legislation before the clock ticks down on its final hour. But some things can wait for a new White House Administration and 107th Congress to embark on revamped Internet legislation and policies. All that remains at the end of the day is a singular taxing issue for U.S. legislators of the 106th Congress. Time flies like an arrow.

Congress returns to work this week with less than 20 business days remaining before the fall elections change the names and faces of legislators toiling away in the House and Senate.

The organization asked that Congress focus their lawmaking abilities on several high-priority tech issues that remain snarled in red tape. William Archey, AEA president and chief executive officer said time is running short for Congress to act.
