CRS just published my report, "The Senate's Byrd Rule: Frequently Asked Questions" (R48640). This report adds to the CRS body of literature on this topic by providing examples of real Byrd rule precedents and their explanations (& other useful info). www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

For those unfamiliar with the reconciliation process in Congress, CRS just published my report: The Reconciliation Process: Frequently Asked Questions. If you need a refresher--or a primer for newbies--this is a good place to start.
