The Senate worked on a bill providing grants to the U.S. computer chip industry. A vote on the measure was postponed after severe weather prevented some senators from being present. The legislation is a response to an industry-wide shortage that had disrupted the manufacturing of automobiles and electronics. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also set up a procedural vote for later in the week on a measure expanding health benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. This bill was passed by the Senate the previous month, but it received some technical changes in the House of Representatives, thus requiring the Senate to vote again.
