Congress plans to vote this Thursday on its plan to avoid a partial government shutdown. Both parties have reached an agreement to finance part of the Government and have agreed to extend the current deadlines to March 8 and 22.
Under the new plan, Congress would temporarily fund several federal agencies until March 8, and another until March 22. In the meantime, attempts will be made to agree and approve another package to finance the Government for the rest of the budget year. The agreement reached on Wednesday, however, leaves out a possible $95 billion package of emergency funds for the national security of Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
