                           GOVERNMENT FUNDING

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I am pleased to say that the text of the 
continuing resolution has been released. It is a strong, bipartisan 
piece of legislation, and I hope it will receive overwhelming support 
from both parties in the Senate.
  I am deeply grateful to Appropriations Chair Collins for her work to 
produce this legislation, in consultation with Members of both parties, 
and I also want to thank Senator Murray, vice chair of the 
Appropriations Committee, for her efforts to get this done.
  I look forward to passing this bill in the next few days.

                          ____________________
