House Unveils Three-Week Highway Funding Patch

Republican leaders in the House on Friday evening unveiled a measure to extend federal transportation funding for three weeks in an effort to prevent a highway-funding shutdown. 

The measure (H.R. 3819) would extend federal transportation spending — currently set to expire Oct. 29 — until Nov. 20.
