Fiscal 2024 started off like most fiscal years, with a Continuing Resolution. The government is still spending, and contractors have lots of opportunities. For the top opportunities in the year ahead, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with Bloomberg Government Senior Data Analyst Paul Murphy.
To the surprise of just about everybody, the Federal Government is fully functional this Monday, October 2, 2023. Some surprise last-minute votes in both the House and Senate on Saturday happened just in time to get a continuing resolution (CR)to the president’s desk – just hours before much of the government was set to run out of appropriations.
With government shutdown on everyone's mind, the Senate this week is trying to fashion a package of three bills. This as the House seems to be at war with itself. Well, one of the party's, at least. For a Capitol Hill update, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with Loren Duggan, Bloomberg Government Deputy News Director.
The Senate has returned to Washington. The House remains on recess for another week. Either way, Congress faces a haystack of work, and precious little time in the fiscal year to do it. For an update, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with Bloomberg Government congressional reporter, Zach Cohen.
Congress is still a couple of weeks away from returning to Washington. Still, pressure is building for members to resolve a difficult budget impasse, as the prospects for a lapse in appropriations also seem to grow.
When Congress left for recess this month, it left lots of Defense Department questions up in the air. When it returns in September, it will have just a few short weeks before the end of the federal fiscal year.
The House and Senate have a lot more to do for any chance of a budget by September 30. For one thing, the two chambers are $100 billion apart. This as they head out for a long August recess.
This week Congress is hard at work on spending bills for 2024. It's the last work week before the August recess, as the fiscal year rushes towards Sept. 30.
Coming back from its holiday recess, both chambers of Congress have a lot of business to take care of before their next one.
Bloomberg Government estimates agencies to have more than $200 billion to spend on acquisition over the final three months of fiscal 2023.
Committees in the House will take up two important issues this week: Agency budgets for 2024 and the next National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This will transpire as Congress recovers from its exertions over the debt ceiling.
In theory there is a debt-ceiling deal between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But it is not law yet. With days until the theoretical deadline, Congress has a lot of work to do.
The looming debt ceiling will occupy the first order of business for Congress again this week. Yet budget hearings and other regular stuff will also go on.
It will have things to love and hate, but it looks like the National Defense Authorization Bill will make it to passage in the remainder of the 117th Congress. But what about Friday's government funding deadline?
