Yesterday, the House and Senate passed a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded at current levels through December 18. This is the second continuing resolution passed by Congress for this fiscal year. The first CR is set to expire Saturday. Congress has approved only four of 12 spending bills for the 2010 fiscal year that began on Oct. 1. Congress is expected to pass an education spending bill that keeps most Title IV programs at level funding.
