I just spent the better part of half an hour trying to find an official version of the Congressional Calendar – you know, when does the session start, when do they adjourn, when are recesses, etc. Every time I have to do this, I forget where it hides so this time I thought I’d blog about it and share what I’ve learned for your benefit and for mine (in the future).
It’s on the Majority Whip’s website. There are other versions on the Majority Leader’s website, the Minority Whip’s website, and I presume on the Minority Leader’s website, but they were all more difficult to read than this one (and this one’s a doozy).
So here’s something that will help it to make more sense: recesses are not called recesses. They are District Work Periods! Isn’t that great?!? District Work Periods are in red. The House convened on January 11 and hopes to adjourn on October 8th.

Nice link. So many vacations and district work periods on that calendar. That plus all the partisan fighting and it’s easier to see why it’s hard to create meaningful legislation!
