For the seventh year in a row, Congress will not produce an authorization bill setting policy and spending priorities for the Homeland Security Department, according to lawmakers and aides.
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., confirmed this week that his panel will not mark up a fiscal 2010 Homeland Security authorization bill, explaining that the Obama administration asked him not to rush such a measure through Congress this fall.
