let's bring in henrietta treyz. henrietta, thank you for joining us.tant is it for the budget to finalize this month? ms. treyz: it's critical. everyone stresses the urgency for the budget to pass by the end of this month. that's because looking ahead into november, there's a really finite amount of time for them to put a budget out, go through the process, go the regular order, it's pretty much mandatory to have eased the house from caucus on one side and senators like john mccain on the others. getting a budget wrapped up by october 31 is paramount. we have some good news. i do believe that we are on the right track to get a budget passed out of the senate this week. the process will start tomorrow and probably go well into the morning. are encouraged and happy to hear that senator cochran is back from mississippi after recent illnesses. he will be there. we understand vice president mike pence will be in the chair, so the tie-breaking vote is necessary, is ready, willing, and able to provide it. it will probably require it. the budget will be passed
