In the meantime Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) is working on the Senate’s version of a funding bill for what’s left of FY13, and the Senate will start considering the House’s CR/Appropriations bill (HR 933) on Monday.

• Carl Levin, the Chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee, will not seek reelection in 2014. He will be almost 80 then.
