The Senate’s tentative schedule indicates August 9 – September 10 as “State Work Period”.
There are at least 25 State Department (14), USAID (3), and ambassador nominations (8) listed on the Executive Calendar (PDF) waiting for full Senate confirmation. With the Senate still wrestling with the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, it remains to be seen if the body would confirm the rest of the names on their Calendar before heading home for the summer break.
Next Meeting: Tuesday, August 10, 2021, 9:30 a.m. – Convene and resume consideration of #HR3684, the legislative vehicle for the Infrastructure and Jobs Act. https://t.co/7iScGvjuI5
