The following article by the CQ Staff was posted on the Roll Call website December 7, 2017:
Both chambers have released their schedules for next year
Both the House and Senate have released their chambers’ plans for gaveling in during 2018. Roll Call combined those schedules into the calendar below.
Both chambers will return for the second session of the 115th Congress on Wednesday, Jan. 3. The House plans to be out of town for three full weeks ahead of Election Day on Nov. 6 (and four weeks total around the election), while the Senate plans to recess for two weeks around the midterm.
The Senate is scheduled to be in session 51 more days than their colleagues across the Capitol Rotunda.
The Senate has scheduled seven fewer days of work in 2018 than it did the previous year. In contrast, the House has plans to work 21 fewer days than its 2017 schedule. It is common for the chambers to adjust their schedules during election years to provide time for campaigning.
