    The Cloakroom with Peter Roskam: Featuring Congressman Tom Cole, R-OK

    Former Congressman Peter Roskam, who leads BakerHostetler’s Federal Policy team, provides listeners with a front-row seat to the most important policy and political debates in Congress. In this episode of “The Cloakroom with Peter Roskam,” Peter interviews Congressman Tom Cole, a Republican from Oklahoma. Cole is the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. The House Appropriations Committee is charged with passing annual spending bills to fund the federal government – everything from the housing and environmental programs to the State Department and Pentagon. But partisanship has largely derailed the budget process on Capitol Hill, with stopgap spending bills and government shutdowns now a regular occurrence. Peter and Cole talk about the challenges of funding the government in a highly charged partisan atmosphere and only months before the midterm congressional elections.
