WASHINGTON | Tue Aug 4, 2009 2:11pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Tuesday the Senate would pass a bill to extend the popular "cash for clunkers" program before lawmakers leave for their August recess.

Senators are hoping to leave for their break at the end of this week.

The program allows consumers to get credit toward a new car if they turn in older, less fuel-efficient vehicles.
