Republicans are considering including Rep Greg Walden's (R-OR) spectrum bill in a proposal to extend the payroll tax holiday, Speaker John Boehner's office confirmed. The spectrum legislation, which could raise as much as $15 billion through government auctions of airwaves, could help offset the cost of extending a payroll tax holiday and federal unemployment benefits. Republicans have insisted that the payroll tax deal not increase the deficit.
