Keep the House working on spending bills before August recess

Wittman supports a House rule that would prevent the House from taking its August recess unless it has passed all 12 annual appropriations bills. He says the measure is intended to keep Congress on schedule and encourage it to set spending priorities before leaving Washington.

Context: This is a House resolution; the passage does not state that it has been adopted.

In their own words

Keeps the House in Washington instead of leaving for August recess if all 12 annual appropriations bills have not been passed.
