The FY10 appropriations process is moving slowly towards conclusion, and will likely end with the outstanding bills being lumped together into a “mini-bus.” Given that the new fiscal year begins each year on October 1st and several spending bills remain incomplete, Congress recently passed a second continuing resolution (CR) that is currently funding government operations at FY09 levels. The current CR runs through December 18th.
