HR 5642, introduced by Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX), would raise the H-1B cap to 195,000 for this year and next.

HR 5634, introduced by Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), would exempt from the H-1B cap individuals who receive Ph.D.s within the three year period preceding the application.

I don't have a sense yet if either bill will move this session.
