House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced this afternoon that the House will not hold votes this week due to weather-related travel troubles for members attempting to get back into town. The House was already scheduled to be out of session next week for the President's Day recess.

"As a result of the inclement weather affecting Members' ability to travel to Washington, DC this week, there will be no votes in the House for the remainder of the week. The change this week means that we will add two days to the schedule as we look to take action on a jobs bill and other critical measures. Therefore, the House will reconvene on Monday, February 22, one day earlier than previously scheduled. The House will now also be in session on Friday, February 26th."
