JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Tonight, we begin a series of reports on the unfinished business Congress left behind when it took off for its August recess.
Among the issues remaining on the table: whether to extend the Bush-era tax cuts, protecting the nation from cyber-attacks, helping the Postal Service's fiscal picture, and a farm bill that would have provided emergency relief for drought-stricken areas.
More than half the counties in the continental U.S. shown here in red have been declared eligible for federal disaster relief because of the drought.
The farm bill is where we start tonight, with reporter Daniel Newhauser. He covers Congress for Roll Call.
