We have known for some time that such an agreement is necessary. I hope the December 22 backstop will facilitate an agreement that will enable the Congress to provide funding for important national security and domestic priorities,” Cochran said. “I encourage Senators to support this continuing resolution. The Appropriations Committees on both sides of the Hill are ready to work constructively to write full-year appropriations legislation that serves the best interests of our nation and its citizens,” he said. The House of Representatives on Thursday approved the new two-week continuing resolution by a 235-193 vote. The Senate will next consider the measure. Government agencies and programs are currently funded through a continuing resolution which expires at midnight Friday, Dec. 8. ### UPDATE: The Senate passed the continuing resolution by a 81-14 vote Thursday evening.	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
