"I urge House and Senate leadership—Democrat and Republican—and the White House to come together and find a deal that will reopen the government, provide much-needed border security funding, and help Americans recover from recent natural disasters—as quickly as possible.”

Chairman Frelinghuysen statement on partial government shutdown: “It is deeply disappointing that Congress was unable to reach a compromise that would have prevented this destabilizing, unnecessary, partial government shutdown right before the holidays."

"Lastly, this legislation reflects the House position on border security by providing $5B in funding for the construction of physical barriers at our borders. I now urge the Senate to pass this Continuing Resolution and prevent a government shutdown.” - Chairman @USRepRodney

“This legislation fulfills our commitment to help Americans suffering in the wake of natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and typhoons. By providing funding for critical recovery and relief programs, Congress is helping our fellow Americans get back on their feet."

"This measure keeps our government open for six additional weeks to allow the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House additional time to reach an agreement on our remaining Appropriations work."

Chairman @USRepRodney on House passage of temporary government funding measure: “As I have stated many times, a Continuing Resolution is a last resort when it comes to funding the federal government. But I do not support a government shutdown under any circumstances."

This six-week Continuing Resolution "gives the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House additional time to come to a responsible compromise that puts the security of our nation first.”

“However, as we’ve clearly seen over the past several weeks, there is still a broad ideological divide when it comes to securing our borders. Despite these differences of opinion, we all agree that a government shutdown is unacceptable."

“This year, we made great strides to get back to regular order – in fact funding nearly 75% of the government on time for the first time in over two decades – and that progress was incredibly important for national security and other critical priorities."

Chairman @USRepRodney on CR: "While I would have preferred to see the year end with the completion of all 12 Appropriations bills, at this point, we must move forward with a Continuing Resolution to keep the government running and fund basic services American families rely on."

75% of the government - including funding for @DeptofDefense - has already been fully funded by annual appropriations legislation completed in September.

The additional two weeks will allow the House and Senate time to complete negotiations on full-year funding legislation for 25% of the federal government.

.@POTUS just signed the two-week Continuing Resolution (H.J. Res. 143) into law - funding the government through December 21, 2018.

This Continuing Resolution is a clean extension of the previous CR, which affects about 25% of discretionary funding for government operations. See the text of the CR here: https://appropriations.house.gov/uploadedfiles/cr_02_xml.pdf …

The Continuing Resolution now heads to the Senate.
