WASHINGTON \u2014 Lawmakers leading the negotiations on a bill to fund the federal government for the current fiscal year announced late Tuesday they\u2019ve reached agreement on a \u201cframework\u201d that should allow them to complete work on the bill over the next week and avoid a government shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congress faces a midnight Friday deadline to pass a spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. The two chambers are expected to pass another short-term measure before then to keep the government running through Dec. 23, which will allow negotiators time to complete work on the full-year bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the Democratic chair of the House Appropriations Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
