The continuing resolution, which passed the House last week, would extend current funding through March 11. It buys lawmakers an extra three weeks to pass an overdue omnibus appropriations package for the fiscal year that began last October.
Before the stopgap vote, Leahy expressed hope on the floor that a spending deal was now within reach. He said a “framework” agreement announced by top appropriators last week would pave the way for “the biggest increase in nondefense programs in four years.”
