“This Continuing Resolution will keep the government open and functioning for an additional week, allowing us time to complete our work on FY23 appropriations bills.  We are making progress under our omnibus framework, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.  We need to do our job and fund the government,” stated Vice Chairman Shelby.
