US EditionHouse passes three-bill spending package with weeks left to avoid a shutdown
The $180 billion package funds key agencies including $25.4 billion for nuclear security and $63.3 billion for energy and water infrastructure, passed 397-28 in the House.
- On Jan. 8, the U.S. House passed a $180 billion, three-bill funding package, sending it to the Senate, with DeLauro saying, `We haven't stopped the conversations...avoid another continuing resolution.`
- To manage dissent, House leaders split the package so conservative hard-liners could oppose the Commerce-Justice-Science bill, which passed 375-47 after removing a $1 million earmark linked to Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
- The appropriations package includes $63,300,000,000 for the Department of Energy and energy-water programs and $25,400,000,000 for the National Nuclear Security Administration, as lawmakers rejected steep White House cuts.
- It now moves to the Senate, where passage is expected, and White House officials said the president would sign it; appropriators are working to prevent a funding cliff before Jan. 30.
- The package reflects a return to regular order as appropriators rejected steep cuts proposed by the administration and Majority Leader John Thune eyes Senate consideration next week with text expected this weekend.
