Stopgap Federal Money Bill OKd
WASHINGTON — A nearly-empty Senate gave final congressional approval today to stopgap legislation that will provide money for the federal government through Nov. 14 and allow Congress more time to finish work on the annual money bills for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
The measure, which was passed by the House last week, was sent on a voice vote to President Reagan, who is expected to sign it. The continuing resolution is needed because Congress has completed none of the 13 annual appropriations bills that provide money for the government’s operations and programs.
