Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata is welcoming bipartisan House passage of a stopgap government funding bill, or Continuing Resolution (C.R.), that is widely expected to prevent a government shutdown, since U.S. Senate leaders have already expressed support for the temporary funding extension.
