put a "continuing resolution" legislation on the House floor early next

year.

"We
want to prevent a government shutdown" Hoyer told reporters. He
did not give details, but such a bill generally keeps government
funding going at current levels, in the absence of regular
appropriations legislation that has passed both chambers. Hoyer
said the bill will be "clean," without adding extraneous
provisions.
