House Republicans on Tuesday unveiled a stopgap funding bill to tide federal agencies over through the week before Thanksgiving, including an extra $88 million to help provide additional security for officials in all three branches of government and a typical array of “extenders” for programs lapsing Sept. 30.

Johnson said Tuesday he is aiming for a vote by Friday, and the House Rules panel scheduled a 2 p.m. meeting on Tuesday to consider the terms of floor debate.
