"The next two weeks will be crucial for energy and environment debates in the House, with the new Democratic majority taking up most major spending bills for fiscal 2020.
Partisan votes are expected in coming days over the U.S. role in international climate accords, the fate of a controversial Alaska mine and other hot-button issues.
The House is in the midst of debate on its first minibus spending package and will begin considering its second soon.
Votes are pending on an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations portion of the first package, offered by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), to bar the use of funds for the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change."
