Congress passes stop-gap funding
Today, the House and Senate passed legislation that will fund the government through December 11th, just hours before the start of the new fiscal year. The stop-gap funding, also known as a continuing resolution, will provide funding at Fiscal Year 2015 levels for all federal agencies, including the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
President Obama is expected to sign the legislation immediately.
