House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, may insert provisions to authorize spectrum auctions in na spending package due for a floor vote this week, a spokesman said. Boehner is discussing nusing spectrum as a “pay-for” for a payroll tax extension, the yearly pay correction for doctors nserving Medicare patients, and other items in the package, the spokesman said. If the nspectrum proposal goes straight to the floor, it would skip a vote this week by the full nCommerce Committee that had been expected.
