However, prudent management requires that agencies be prepared for the possibility of a lapse,&#8221; the memo said.<br\/><br\/> OMB began what it calls &#8220;pre-appropriation-lapse calls&#8221; in 2013, notifying agencies to begin making shutdown plans a week out from the funding lapse. <br\/><br\/> The agency noted that this would be the third preparation call of fiscal 2017, with the previous two happening in the waning days of the Obama administration. <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress, there is a fear that a single funding issue in the budget \u2014 also known as poison-pill riders \u2014 could grind budget negotiations to a halt before a continuing resolution can be passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s difficult to project, the most recent potential poison-pill riders could be the White House\u2019s request for additional funding for the Department of Defense and President Trump&#8217;s proposed border wall with Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mulvaney said March 16 that OMB would request an additional $30 billion for the DoD and $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, including $1.5 billion in funding for early planning stages for the border wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Democrats fight those measures or negotiations fail to secure Freedom Caucus support, the likelihood of a shutdown rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If I were a betting man, I would want to cover every conceivable bet,&#8221; said Don Kettl, a professor at the University of Maryland\u2019s School of Public Policy and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, in a March 31 interview. &#8220;It would be hard to even try to figure out what the spread ought to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a
