DeLauro Calls for Four-Corners Negotiation to Avoid a Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) released this statement following House Republicans’ decision to no longer consider their six-month continuing resolution:

“For the good of the American people, Congress must move on from House Republicans’ partisan continuing resolution proposals and begin negotiating a funding bill that can earn the support of both Democrats and Republicans in the House and the Senate.

 “It is past time for Chairman Tom Cole, Chair Patty Murray, Vice Chair Susan Collins, and I to begin good-faith negotiations on a continuing resolution that will keep government programs and services Americans depend on functioning while we complete our work on full-year funding bills before the end of the 118th Congress.”
