WASHINGTON: The U.S. Senate on Monday passed a last-minute deal to avoid a government shutdown and make billions of dollars available to victims of recent disasters.
By a bipartisan vote of 79 to 12, the Democratic-controlled Senate approved a bill that would keep the government running when the new fiscal year starts on Saturday.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives must still sign off on the measure, and could do so later this week. – Reuters
