AP is reporting : "The GOP-run Senate voted in September to block proposed Labor Department rules that opponents say would make it easier for employers to deny overtime for millions of workers. The House, also run by Republicans, voted narrowly to support the rules, but later cast a nonbinding vote in favor of blocking them. The administration is insisting the proposed rules be allowed to take effect."
and
"Another difficult issue is language approved by the House and by a Senate committee that would block a Federal Communications Commission plan to let companies own larger shares of the television market."
