Diaz-Balart comments on the passage of Temporary CR

March 1, 2011

Washington, D.C. – Today Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) comments after the passage of a temporary Continuing Resolution (CR) that will allow the federal government to continue operations for an additional two weeks when the current funding measure expires on March 4th. Diaz-Balart comments:

“The temporary CR is necessary to prevent a government shutdown that would halt all necessary services and programs that Americans across the country rely on. The bill reduces spending by $4 billion for the next two weeks reflecting the continued commitment of House Republican to rein in spending and get our economy back on track. This short-term measure is only one of the many steps necessary to address our long-term debt, thus I insist that Senate Democrats act quickly and listen to what the American people stated back in November.”
