Some lawmakers hope to pass recovery package by Jan. 20

"The goal for completing action on this important legislation should be as close to Jan. 20 as possible," stated an e-mail message from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's office to senior Senate Democratic staff members. The recovery package, which is expected to include infrastructure projects, could total just under $1 trillion.
