House and Senate Appropriations Committee leaders worked through the holidays in an effort to finalize an omnibus appropriations bill for FY 2014. Congress must pass something by January 15th, when the current funding expires, so we anticipate the omnibus being released toward the end of this week, giving the House and Senate time to pass the bill before the January 15 deadline.
Additionally, the White House announced this week that the release of the President’s proposed FY 2015 budget will be delayed at least a month. The budget was originally scheduled to be released on February 4th, but it will now likely be released sometime in March.
