In this Dec. 1, 2015, photo, House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis., meets with reporters following a GOP strategy session on Capitol Hill in Washington. Congressional Republicans are pressing for an end to the four-decade ban on exporting crude oil and further curbs on President Barack Obama’s environmental agenda as part of a sweeping $1.1 trillion spending bill.

The two bills are the major item of unfinished business for this session of Congress. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
