First Deadline Missed In Bipartisan Negotiations To Avoid Shutdown In January

The congressional negotiators trying to write a budget to avoid another partial shutdown next month missed their first informal deadline Monday.

It has been nearly three weeks since the 29-member committee of House and Senate budget negotiators met, and they don’t have any meetings scheduled before their final Dec. 13 deadline.

The lawmakers who will have to translate the budget into individual spending bills had pushed for an even earlier Dec. 2 deadline, saying if they didn’t have top-line numbers by then, they would struggle to pass the stand-alone bills before the mid-January shutdown deadline.
