House Passes 11th & 12th Bills to Keep Government Running
|

WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today welcomed House passage of H.J. Res. 75, the Nutrition Assistance for Low-Income Women and Children Act, and H.J. Res. 85, the National Emergency and Disaster Recovery Act:
“Today, the House passed two more
straightforward bills to keep critical parts of the government running,
while Senate Democrats allow their shutdown to continue hurting
hardworking people. One of these measures makes sure that poor families
will be able to get the nutrition assistance they need, and the other
protects funding for emergency and disaster recovery. These should be
areas we can all agree on, but the president has threatened to veto
these measures on top of refusing to sit down and talk altogether. It
may not really matter to the White House how long this shutdown lasts,
but it certainly matters to the American people.”
