Congress

An early Christmas present for the commercial launch industry

Late Wednesday evening the Senate took a break from the health care reform debate long enough to approve by unanimous consent HR 3819, legislation that extends the commercial launch indemnification regime by three years, to the end of 2012. The non-controversial legislation was quickly disposed of near the end of Wednesday’s session, as the Congressional Record illustrates. The House passed the same bill two months ago, so it will go on to the President for his signature, and just in time: the current indemnification provision expires on December 31.
