Don't forget one of the major reasons it didn't get support last Congress is because there was nothing in the bill that addressed that would happen if ICAO didn't adopt age 67, which they in fact didn't. I'm sure there will be briefings submitted by the airlines that will outline potential operational disruptions and financial challenges to them having to employ pilots who can't leave the country.
