THE HOUSE IS SET TO VOTE TUESDAY NOV 19,2019 ON A FUNDING STOPGAP TO PREVENT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, pushing the deadline for an agreement from Nov. 21 to Dec. 20.
The continuing resolution (CR) comes as lawmakers continue to battle over the parameters for new spending bills, with the largest controversies centered around President Trump's proposed border wall.
Top appropriators are negotiating over how to allocate funds among 12 spending bills, aiming to strike a deal by Wednesday.
The CR would allow them to put off final decisions about how to deal with the wall, an issue many lawmakers believe will drag out the funding talks and require yet another stopgap into the new year.
Democrats are expected to post the text of the continuing resolution and bring it to the House Rules Committee Monday evening.
Some conservative groups, such as Club for Growth, have already decried the Christmas deadline as harmful to Trump's negotiating position.
Why in the world would @realDonaldTrump allow Congress to corner him toward a potential Christmas Shutdown?
#VETO" the group's vice president of government affairs, Scott Parkinson, tweeted Monday.
A presidential veto of the CR would likely lead to a shutdown.
Last year, a 35-day shutdown began when Trump threatened to veto a CR over wall funding just ahead of Christmas.
Appropriations Committee Approves FY 2020 Subcommittee Allocations
May 8, 2019 Press Release
WASHINGTON —
The House Appropriations Committee today approved allocations, known as 302(b)s, for its 12 subcommittees for fiscal year 2020 on a vote of 30 to 22.
The allocations total $1.295 trillion in discretionary funding, with significant increases allowing investments that help working families.
The 302(b) subcommittee allocations are here.
“The work of this Committee is too important for us to sit on our hands and wait for the Senate and White House to work with us on a bipartisan budget agreement,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey. “With these suballocations, we are enabling a speedier and more orderly appropriations process to get the people’s work done on time.
Most importantly, we are rejecting the inadequate and ill-considered allocations of recent years and instead providing sufficient resources to secure our nation and give all Americans a better chance at a better life.”
What are 302(b) Allocations?
Each subcommittee is allocated a certain amount of funding under the full Committee’s 302(a) allocation. These allocations, which are referred to as 302(b) allocations, establish the cap on spending for each of the appropriations bills. It is important to note that the subcommittees themselves don’t determine the level of funding for each bill; they only determine how that money is spent among the agencies and programs under the subcommittee’s jurisdiction. The FY15 subcommittee 302(b) allocations can be found here.
