Dear Colleagues,

Also last night, the House and Senate approved the Conference Report on the Defense Appropriations bill that includes a Continuing Resolution to keep government agencies and programs funded until December 14. The President is expected to sign this bill.

More information about the Corporation’s budget is available on the budget section of our website. We’ll keep you posted on further developments.

In service,
