Much about the full-year continuing resolution is still up in the air- even the formula by which all funding will be determined. GovExec has the story. Details about how a yearlong continuing resolution -- or joint resolution, as lawmakers have termed it - - would function began to emerge this week as congressional staff discussed the fallout from the decision to drop the nine unfinished fiscal 2007 spending measures. The current continuing resolution to keep all departments but Defense and Homeland Security, which have separate appropriations, running was signed into law last Friday just before lawmakers left Washington for the year. It will run through Feb. 15 and generally funds agencies and programs at the lowest of the following three levels: House-passed fiscal 2007, Senate-passed fiscal 2007, or fiscal 2006 enacted.
