“It appears it will be Dec. 20,” House Appropriations Cmte Chairwoman Nita Lowey tells reporters after meeting with Senate Appropriations Cmte Chairman Richard Shelby.

  • Continuing resolution date is based on input from leadership, Lowey says
  • No final decision on length of stopgap funding has been taken: Lowey
  • NOTE: Lawmakers are trying to craft a new funding measure as the current one is set to expire after Nov. 21; without a solution there will be a partial government shutdown
