Friday: Intelligence authorization

The House wraps up work for the week on Friday with votes on the intelligence authorization after two late nights debating 2015 appropriations.

Debate and votes on the 2015 Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill lasted until 1:15 a.m. Friday. Members will return with less than eight hours later for legislative business.

The House passed a measure last Thursday to limit the NSA’s bulk data collection. But the  intelligence authorization and 11 amendments will likely still draw debate over the NSA.

The Senate is not in session this week.
