Stopgap Funding Measure Passes House, now at Senate
Key points:* Government will continue to function once the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1. * Funds most government programs at fiscal 2008 levels until March 6. * Exceptions include fiscal 2009 funding for military construction, DoD, DHS, VA. * If enacted, it would make a lame-duck session unlikely. * No extension of the moratorium on offshore drilling, allowing the ban to lapse. * Text of the measure not released until late Tuesday.
