- But he said no deal has been reached yet on the size of the budget cuts or on policy statements Republicans favor about abortion rights and environmental issues.

- 歐巴馬總統在推特上說，美國經濟仍在努力走出一場特別深重的衰退；如果不能達成預算協議，這是不可原諒的。
- The House of Representatives is voting Thursday on a Republican proposal for a one-week spending extension to keep the government running beyond Friday.
- 星期四，眾議院將就共和黨提出的一個建議進行表決；該建議把聯邦政府臨時開支延長一個星期，以保持政府在星期五以後的運作。
- Senate Majority Leader Reid said he opposes that bill, calling it a "non-starter."
