Leaders on both sides of the aisle and in both Houses of Congress have tentatively agreed to enact a six-month Continuing Resolution (CR) that will keep the federal government going until March 2013. Leaders from both the House and Senate have also agreed to stick to the $1.047 trillion discretionary spending cap that was established under the budget Control Act. The proposed CR is expected to come up for a vote in the House and Senate sometime in September. The House and Senate are in recess until September 7.
