WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 -- Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vermont, issued the following statement:
* * *
It is my hope that soon the Senate will vote on a bipartisan agreement to keep the government open and funded through February 18th. I am pleased we reached this agreement. The only thing worse than running the government under a continuing resolution (CR) is a government shutdown. A shutdown only hurts the American people and wastes billions in taxpayer dollars.
