WASHINGTON — Appropriators plan to introduce a long-awaited omnibus spending package Monday afternoon in the Senate and pass it before Christmas Eve, House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro said Thursday.
Since announcing a bipartisan framework for a fiscal 2023 omnibus measure Tuesday night, lawmakers have been scrambling to write a complex bill spanning thousands of pages.
“We’re going to get an omnibus next week,” said DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat. “I’m resolute. I can’t account for crazy things that come up, but that’s my goal.”
