Busy Week Coming Up In Washington...

  and that is putting it mildly. The 111TH Congress begins on Tuesday in what will probably be one action-packed week.

    President-elect Obama and his family will be arriving  in Washington on Sunday, and Obama will be meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and House Republican leader John Boehner  on Monday. The topic will be the stimulus package ( $800 Billion ).

On Wednesday, Obama will meet at the White House for lunch with George W. Bush and former Presidents Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Jimmy Carter.

And what about Vice President-elect Biden? He'll be at the Capitol Building on Tuesday, being sworn in for his seventh term as a U.S. Senator, before handing over the reins to Ted Kaufman.

  But there is more happening this week.

• 10:00 AM Thursday, January 8, 2009: Confirmation Hearing for Secretary of Health and Human Services-Designate, Former Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.)
• 9:30 AM Friday, January 9, 2009: Confirmation Hearing for Secretary of Labor-Designate, Rep. Hilda L. Solis (D-Calif.)

   On Tuesday, 98 Senators will be sworn in.
