This document outlines the legislative agenda for the 2016 lame-duck session of the U.S. Congress following the Republican election sweep. The agenda is expected to be minimalist, primarily focusing on government funding, with potential action on tax extenders, pensions, and major health legislation like the 21st Century Cures Act and a mental health bill. The Republican leadership aims to pass short-term measures to allow the incoming Trump administration to influence fiscal 2017 spending.
