House, Senate negotiators say they have framework for government spending bill

House and Senate negotiators announced they have a framework to negotiate the final details on a spending bill for a full year of government funding. 

House Appropriations Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, Democrat of Connecticut, said in a statement that the framework would provide a path to passing what's known as an omnibus spending bill next week. Now, she added the House and Senate Appropriations Committees will negotiate the details of the final 2023 spending bills "that can be supported by the House and Senate and receive President Biden's signature."

The House is preparing to pass a short-term extension of government funding, pushing the date from the current deadline of Dec. 16 to Dec. 23, which will give appropriators time to finish writing the final legislation.
