President signs measure to keep government open
Wednesday, March 02, 2011
The President has signed a measure into law that will keep
the government open for the next two weeks.
The Senate voted 91-9 for the bill that cuts spending
by $4 billion, and is identical to a measure that easily passed the
House on Tuesday
Passage of the short-term measure will allow the House, Senate
and White House to strike a deal on a long-term solution to fund
the government for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011, or the end
of September 2011.
