Executive Mosaic’s Weekly News Round-Up 

The Senate and House overwhelmingly voted this week to approve a continuing resolution that allocates $982 billion to fund the government for at least six more months.
Three weeks after agencies started to implement more than $85 billion in sequestration cuts for the rest of this fiscal year,Congress faced a Wednesday deadline to pass a spending package or have a government shutdown.
