WASHINGTON, DC- Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through Dec. 3, 2021:
“Congress has averted a government shutdown, and now the Senate must act to ensure we also avoid default.
