<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon WF and BFET Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As many of you may be aware, congress passed a stopgap bill to avert a shutdown, which will fund the government for 45 days. This will allow the house and senate some additional time to come to agreement on the 12 annual appropriation bills.
Currently, the house has passed 4 of 12 bills which now sit with the Senate. <o:p>
