Pelosi Asks Boehner To Cancel House Recess, Cites Deadlines
In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) asked that next week's House recess be canceled because of approaching deadlines for passing several bills. Michael Steel, Boehner's spokesperson, said Pelosi's letter "should be addressed to [Senate Democrats] who are still blockading a host of bills" that the House passed with bipartisan support.
