Ryan: U.S. spending deal to debut on Tuesday; extension needed
WASHINGTON | BY DAVID LAWDER
U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan said Republicans would unveil a deal for a $1.15 trillion spending bill on Tuesday but would need to pass another short-term funding extension to allow for a vote on the measure on Thursday.
Ryan, speaking to a breakfast sponsored by Politico, said lawmakers were putting finishing touches on the massive spending bill and affirmed his view that there would be no government shutdown at the current midnight Wednesday deadline.
"We'll be posting sometime today," Ryan said. "We're just waiting for the scorekeepers to finish drafting, things like that."
Neither Ryan nor Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would reveal any details of the spending measure at the Politico breakfast.
But Ryan said that both Democrats and Republicans had to make some compromises.
