The Senate is in recess this week, as the House returns from last week’s break.

As it has for several weeks now, the super committee will hold a series of meetings as it inches toward its Thanksgiving deadline of providing a deficit reduction plan worth at least $1.2 billion in savings. And, of course, most of the panel’s meetings will be private, with the exception of one public hearing Wednesday.

TODAY

President Obama In California. The president will travel to Los Angeles to “participate in campaign events,” also known as fundraisers.

TUESDAY

President Obama on the “Tonight Show.” The president will tape a segment with Jay Leno before leaving LA for  San Francisco  to “participate in campaign events.”

Deployment in Uganda. The House Foreign Affairs Committee holds a hearing on the recent White House decision to send 100 U.S. military advisers to central Africa. The surprise deployment escalated American involvement in the fight against the Lord’s Resistance Army.
