Breaking now from the Senate:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced that two of the biggest and most controversial transportation items on Congress’s docket will be up on the Senate floor next week.

Reid said the Senate will vote Monday on the final House-Senate agreement authorizing the Federal Aviation Administration. A deal of FAA was reached this week after a logjam over union rules was broken by negotiators last week. The bill should soon be headed to President Obama’s desk.

Reid said the Senate would then take up its version of the Transportation authorization bill, otherwise known as the Highway bill. The Senate has a 2-year, $109 billion bill set to go up against a 5-year, $260 billion package introduced by House Republicans this week and slotted for floor time the week of February 13th. Reid said the Senate bill contains the potential for “millions of jobs.”
