WASHINGTON: The House of Representatives has approved a $410 billion bill that boosts spending on domestic programs, bristles with congressional pet projects and chips away at policies left behind by the Bush administration.
The vote Wednesday was 245-178, largely along party lines. It clears the way for the Senate to consider its own version of the measure.
The legislation is designed to permit most federal agencies to continue operating until the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.
Current funding runs out on March 6.
