More aid to Ukraine, a boost in defense spending and funds to help communities hit by natural disasters included in the legislation.
The U.S. has provided about $68 billion to Ukraine in previous rounds of military, economic and humanitarian assistance. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell had warned that if the fiscal year 2023 spending measure failed to gain bipartisan support this week, he would seek another short-term patch into next year, guaranteeing that the new Republican majority in the House would get to shape the package.
Sen. John Thune, the No. 2-ranking Republican in the Senate, told reporters “tensions are high in the House. There’s a lot going on there right now, but in the end, I think when the dust settles and the smoke clears, Republicans in the House and Senate will have to figure out a way to work together next year.”
A provision was included in the bill to ensure the General Service Administration would conduct “separate and detailed consultations" with people representing the Maryland and Virginia sites to get their perspectives before a decision is reached. Some proposed policy changes failed to make the final cut after months of negotiations, disappointing those who saw the legislation, referred to as the omnibus, as their last, best chance for quick action.
The last time Congress enacted all its spending bills by then was in 1996, when the Senate finished its work on Sept. 30, the very last day of the budget year. Then-President Bill Clinton signed it that same day.
