This week, the House of Representatives – by a wide bipartisan majority – passed a temporary measure to continue to fund the government for six months. Funding for the government was scheduled to expire on March 27th.
The legislation, known as a Continuing Resolution (CR), includes a full-year funding for Defense Appropriations, as well as a full-year funding for Military Construction/Veterans Affairs Appropriations on top of a six-month extension for the remainder of FY2013.
