The 108th Congress Convenes Tuesday

The nation's 108th Congress convenes Tuesday with a considerable hangover of unfinished business from its last session.

Hill-watchers also expect heavy lobbying from the White House for quick action on the administration's new economic stimulus package. NPR's David Welna reports.
