U.S. House votes 272-162 to pass a short-term measure to keep the federal government funded through March 11 while talks on a broader spending package continue; bill heads to Senate.
Lawmakers voted 272-162 to pass the legislation released Monday by House Appropriations Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.
The bill now heads to the Senate, where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he intends to act on the legislation “quickly and in time for the February 18 deadline.” The funding measure would avert a government shutdown on Feb. 18, when the previous short-term spending bill expires, and extend funding for about three weeks. DeLauro said the new stopgap bill is needed to buy negotiators time to reach a comprehensive spending deal that would keep the government funded at least through September."The American people deserve the certainty that comes with full-year funding bills," said DeLauro in floor remarks shortly before Tuesday's vote.
