Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday she was confident the measure would make it through both houses of Congress before the Friday night deadline.</p><p><blockquote>白宫谴责共和党试图将拨款决议与拜登总统缩减联邦雇员接种 Covid 19 及其变种疫苗的要求挂钩。新闻秘书珍·帕萨基周四告诉记者,她相信这项措施将在周五晚上的最后期限之前在国会两院获得通过。</blockquote></p><p> “We still feel that there’s time for lawmakers to set aside reckless and irresponsible political games and enact a short-term continuing resolution that would fund the government through early next year and allow for time for a full-year budget agreement, which is obviously our overarching objective,” she said at a press briefing.</p><p><blockquote>“她在新闻发布会上说:”我们仍然认为,立法者们还有时间抛开鲁莽和不负责任的政治游戏,制定一项短期持续决议,为政府提供资金直至明年初,并为达成全年预算协议留出时间,这显然是我们的首要目标。</blockquote></p><p> Psaki added that the Office of Management and Budget began preparing federal agencies for a possible shutdown last Friday, in accordance with standard procedure.</p><p><blockquote>普萨基补充说,根据标准程序,管理和预算办公室上周五开始为联邦机构可能的关闭做准备。</blockquote></p><p> “But again, our objective is, of course, to prevent the government shutdown,” Psaki said.</p><p><blockquote>“但同样,我们的目标当然是防止政府关门,”普萨基说。</blockquote></p><p> Due to the short deadline, the only way to avoid a shutdown was for all 100 senators to agree to schedule a vote before the deadline.</p><p><blockquote>由于最后期限很短,避免关闭的唯一方法是所有100名参议员同意在最后期限前安排投票。</blockquote></p><p> Before Thursday’s deals were announced, Democrats and Republicans were at odds over some key funding details. Democrats were pushing for a resolution with a shorter deadline in an effort to pressure Republicans to negotiate for the fiscal 2022 long-term budget. Republicans have signaled they were open to extending the continuing resolution for up to a year.</p><p><blockquote>在周四的协议宣布之前,民主党和共和党在一些关键的资金细节上存在分歧。民主党人正在推动一项期限较短的决议,以向共和党人施压,要求其就2022财年长期预算进行谈判。共和党人表示,他们愿意将持续决议延长一年。</blockquote></p><p> “While I wish it were earlier, this agreement allows the appropriations process to move forward toward a final funding agreement which addresses the needs of the American people,” DeLauro said in her statement.</p><p><blockquote>“德劳罗在声明中说:”虽然我希望能早点达成,但这项协议使拨款程序能够朝着最终的拨款协议迈进,以满足美国人民的需求。</blockquote></p><p> Most of the provisions of the long-term funding bill have already passed the House, but there are still provisions that need to be negotiated, Pelosi said Thursday.</p><p><blockquote>佩洛西周四表示,长期拨款法案的大部分条款已经在众议院获得通过,但仍有一些条款需要谈判。</blockquote></p><p> Conservative Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus urged McConnell to drag out the continuing resolution process unless it prohibits funding for the Biden administration’s vaccine mandates.</p><p><blockquote>众议院自由党团中的保守派共和党人敦促麦康奈尔拖延正在进行的决议程序,除非该程序禁止为拜登政府的疫苗授权提供资金。</blockquote></p><p> “The Senate Republican conference enjoys important leverage against those mandates,” the caucus wrote in a letter to McConnell Wednesday. “We therefore write to request that you use all procedural tools at your disposal to deny timely passage of the CR unless it prohibits funding—in all respects—for the vaccine mandates and enforcement thereof.”</p><p><blockquote>“参议院共和党会议在反对这些授权方面拥有重要影响力,”党团周三在给麦康奈尔的信中写道。“因此,我们写信请求您使用一切可用的程序工具,拒绝及时通过 CR,除非它禁止在所有方面为疫苗授权及其执行提供资金”。</blockquote></p><p> Some of these Republicans have suggested resolving the stalemate by allowing a simple majority vote on an amendment to the temporary funding bill that removed funding from vaccine mandates.</p><p><blockquote>其中一些共和党人建议通过允许对临时拨款法案修正案进行简单多数票来解决僵局,该修正案取消了疫苗授权中的资金。</blockquote></p><p> Since Monday, three judges have frozen federal Covid-19 vaccine rules in certain parts of the country. On Tuesday, a federal judge in Louisiana halted the administration’s mandate requiring healthcare workers to be vaccinated.</p><p><blockquote>自周一以来,三名法官冻结了该国某些地区的联邦新冠肺炎疫苗规则。本周二,路易斯安那州的一名联邦法官叫停了政府要求医护人员接种疫苗的规定。</blockquote></p><p> Sen.

Roger Marshall (R.-Kan.) told CNN Thursday he was still opposed to passing the continuing resolution unless there was an amendment vote to defund the mandates.</p><p><blockquote>参议员罗杰·马歇尔(R.-Kan。)周四告诉美国有线电视新闻网,他仍然反对通过继续的决议,除非有修正案投票取消授权。</blockquote></p><p> Congress also needs to pass legislation raising the nation’s borrowing limit before recess for the year, as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen continues to warn of the consequences of postponing the decision.</p><p><blockquote>国会还需要在今年休会前通过提高国家借款限额的立法,因为财政部长珍妮特-耶伦(Janet Yellen)继续警告推迟这一决定的后果。</blockquote></p><p> “I cannot overstate how critical it is that Congress address this issue,” Yellen said at a Senate Banking committee hearing on Tuesday. “America must pay its bills on time and in full.
