Medicaid cuts are OK'd, agencies tussle over how to sell cold remedies, and a smallpox vaccination program ends.

Like most Americans, members of Congress prefer to be home for Christmas-and tend to stay there until well into January. Senators with a seat on the Judiciary Committee returned to Washington earlier this new year to probe Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr.,'s qualifications for a seat on the Supreme Court and hold hearings on the constitutionality of eavesdropping on Americans by the National Security Agency.
