Busy Week Ahead

Monday, May 7th, 2007

The first paragraph in this morning’s CongressDaily AM says it all:

The early months of the 110th Congress have not seen a week like the one ahead, as both chambers will grapple with more significant issues and legislation at once than they have so far in this young session.

Of course, that’s just the beginning of what’s on tap for this week. Check back often and visit nfu.org for all the latest National Farmers Union news.
