Womack Votes to Avoid Another Shutdown
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after the House passed the House Amendment to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 1892 -- Further Extension of Continuing Appropriations Act, which provides full-year funding for the Department of Defense and funding for the remainder of the federal government through March 23, 2018:
"I'm disappointed that a spending caps agreement and, therefore, a full-year funding solution for the entire government continue to elude Congress. It is irresponsible to govern week-by-week. However, it is unacceptable to play politics with the funding of our men and women in uniform, compromising the security of our nation. This continuing resolution ensures that will not happen."
