Senate Republicans are now pushing for the Fy 2017 stop-gap continuing resolution to go through May 2017. The House, particularly House conservatives, have long advocated for a March 2017 date. The White House continues to push for a CR that is as short as possible to ensure the Pentagon gets the budget assurance it needs for ongoing conflicts.
Additionally, the White House sent an $11.6 b request for additional funding to combat ISIL at the beginning of November.
The text of the CR is not expected to be unveiled until next week as House and Senate leadership continue to work though these issues.
