CoinVoice has learned that, according to Fox News reports, sources say that U.S. House Republican negotiators have reached a preliminary agreement on Plan C to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the day on Friday. The agreement will include a short-term extension of this year's federal funding levels, disaster relief funds, and agricultural support for farmers—but will be divided into three separate bills.

The agreement will also include a handshake deal to take action on next year's debt ceiling, which is part of the Republicans' plan to enact large-scale conservative policy reforms through the reconciliation process. (Jin Shi) [Original link]
