Budget Update

• Congress is down to the short strokes in finalizing a $900 Billion COVID-19/Stimulus package and wrapping it into the final Fiscal 2021 Omnibus spending legislation.
• Elements of the final COVID-19/Stimulus package will include: a $600 payment to individuals, a $300 weekly supplemental unemployment insurance payment, $17 Billion for airlines, $325 Billion for small business relief, $275 Billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, and $25 Billion for emergency rental assistance.
• This package will not include any funding for state and local governments or a pandemic-related liability shield.
• The exclusion of these controversial issues was acknowledged by President-elect Biden, who stated that the $900 Billion package will be “an important down payment” that will be followed up with another stimulus package early next year that will include state and local funding.
• The House of Representatives is not scheduled to not take up this combined $2.3 Trillion spending measure until Friday at the earliest.
• Based on this timing and the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution (CR) this Friday at midnight, Congress will likely need to pass a third CR (running through the weekend and possibly into next week) to complete action on the combined spending legislation.
• In the event that any Senator objects to a third CR, the Senate may elect to proceed with a full government shutdown over the weekend.
• According to BGOV, “A brief shutdown that’s over by the end of the weekend may not have a major impact, especially in comparison to the effects of the stimulus lawmakers are preparing. Shutdowns cause the federal government to furlough hundreds of thousands of workers, an action that would have limited economic impact if it’s only for a weekend. Congress has provided back pay to those workers after recent shutdowns, meaning most of the damage is temporary.”

Biden Appointments

• Deb Haaland, Secretary, Department of Interior
• Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy
• Michael Regan, Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency
• Brenda Mallory, Chair, Council on Environmental Quality
• Gina McCarthy, White House Climate Policy Coordinator

NDAA Update

• President Trump stated as late as Thursday (12/18) that he will veto the 2021 NDAA
• The NDAA was presented to the President on 12/11/20
• President Trump has until December 23 to make a final decision on whether he will veto the NDAA or not
• Should the President veto the NDAA, he will be banking that there will be Republican defections from the “veto proof” majorities in the House and Senate
• House vote/needed to override: 335-78/284
• Senate margin: 84-13/66
• If both the House and Senate vote to override the President’s veto the NDAA becomes law with no further action
• If either Chamber fails to override the NDAA dies
