The article presents an update on the U.S. Congress as of July 2006. The House of Representatives failed to override President George W. Bush's veto of a bill that would expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. The Senate approved more than $12 billion worth of flood-control projects of the Army Corps of Engineers. The House approved the U.S.-Oman free-trade agreement on July 20, 2006.
