"By passing today's spending measure, we have averted a government shutdown, while also allowing for action to be taken to address the President's executive amnesty early next year when we will finally have a working partner in the U.S. Senate," said Rep. Graves. "This legislation contains many positive provisions for the people of North Missouri, such as reining in the EPA's ability to infringe on private property rights of farmers and ranchers, prioritizing the Army Corps of Engineers funding for navigation and flood control, and increasing pay for our military service members," he continued. Background: The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, provides $1.013 trillion for the federal government. This is consistent with the Ryan-Murray Agreement's caps of $521 billion for defense and $492 billion for non-defense spending. H.R. 83 fully funds 11 of the 12 regular Appropriations bills through September 30, 2015, and funds the Department of Homeland Security under a Continuing Resolution (CR) until February 27, 2015.
