Members of Congress are on a six-week recess, leaving government funding, a farm bill and defense spending on the long list of things to do.

Sanford Bishop of Albany, one of the highest-ranking Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, wants lawmakers to pass long-term spending legislation ahead of the new Dec. 20 shutdown deadline that was set Wednesday when Congress approved a measure to avoid a federal shutdown.
