With the package under consideration today, Congress will fund the
government through February 16, 2018. We will provide crucial dollars
to keep the government functioning, to support our troops and the
military, and to ensure we are all working for the American people. We
will provide time to negotiate a larger agreement on funding the
government for the remainder of the fiscal year, as well as a badly
needed immigration reform measure. In addition to funding the government, this bill also includes
several other important provisions. Most notably, it reauthorizes the
Children's Health Insurance Program--or CHIP, as it is popularly
known--for 6 years.
