More schedule news and more importantly,
great news for the Lion of the Senate and one of my favorite Senators, Sen. Ted Kennedy:
Quote:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that he spoke with Kennedy’s wife, Vicki, in the past few days and was told the 77-year-old lawmaker is “doing fine.”
Reid said Kennedy’s cancer is in remission and added that while the lawmaker is going through another regiment of treatment, the procedure “is not unusual.”

Sen. Kennedy will also be back full time after the Memorial Day recess. With Kennedy and hopefully Franken in late June, the Dems should be at full strength in time for health care reform:
Quote:
|
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), a senior member of the HELP Committee, said that Kennedy is scheduled to return to the Senate full time the week after Memorial Day recess to chair the committee markup.
|
Also, looks like June is the month for health care reform with markup of a health reform bill after the Memorial Day recess.
Quote:
|
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), one of Kennedy’s closest friends in the Senate, also said that Kennedy would return to wield the gavel on healthcare reform during the first week in June.
