Federal Funding

摘要

Congress has approved a new short-term spending bill to keep federal agencies' activities, including construction programs, operating through Nov. 18. The final congressional action came on Oct. 4, when the House passed the measure by a 3 52-66 vote. The House's approval sends the bill to the White House. President Obama was expected to sign it before midnight Oct. 4, when a previous stopgap was due to expire.
