U.S. lawmakers reach deal to fund government in 2012-aides
by hlk Tue 13 Dec 2011, 19:45
WASHINGTON (Dec 12): U.S. lawmakers agreed on Monday to fund the
government through next year, potentially avoiding a shutdown that would
have further eroded Congress' tattered reputation ahead of the 2012
election.
A group of Republican and Democratic lawmakers in charge of
government spending agreed on how to fund crucial government functions
until the current fiscal year ends Oct. 1, 2012, congressional aides
said.
Details were not immediately available and lawmakers were expected to
publish the massive spending bill, also known as the omnibus, on
Tuesday.
The House of Representatives and the Senate must still vote in favor
of the spending bill before a temporary funding measure expires on
Friday. - Reuters
