Whereas the cost of a shutdown of Government operations

Whereas the legislative and executive branches are expected 
to resolve differences over budgetary and fiscal priorities 
in a responsible way; and 
Whereas conditioning the resolution of budgetary and fiscal 
disputes on the taking of action relating to non-germane 
legislative matters, including the repeal or modification of 
a duly enacted law, negatively impacts the ability to

tioning the resolution of fiscal and budgetary disputes on
