The package totals ~$460B, a better-late-than-never agreement reached …after months of delays, negotiations & stopgaps that took the govt to the brink of a #shutdown mult times…. #Republicans said they hope to limit nondefense spending in fiscal yr 2024 to ~$704B, $40B less than fiscal yr 2023. #House & #Senate ldrs had already agreed earlier this yr to spend ~$1.7T in …discretionary spending, which includes domestic prgms & #military spending but not …prgms such as #SocialSecurity & #Medicare.
#Congress plans to use 2 packages of #legislation to fund the entire govt. The #House must vote on the first package this week, then move it to the #Senate for a vote. Legislative action must be complete before the Mar 8 funding deadline that was set late last week to avoid a partial #GovernmentShutdown.
