Here's a look at some keys aspects of the CR. National Journal subscribers can read more here.
- The annual rate of the CR is $26.6 billion below last year's level.
- Funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Disaster Relief Fund stays flat at $6.4 billion.
- $88.5 billion goes toward war-related funding, the amount requested by the White House.
- New projects and programs will go unfunded.
- There will be no new policy riders.
