The U.S. Senate passed a resolution that gives money to finance the U.S. government and at the end of the fear of arrest.The Democrats were opposed to the Republican demands to counterbalance the United States to support victims of natural disasters cut for clean energy programs.



The deal was reached by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said he had enough money until the end of the year on Friday.

The new loan will last until 18 November, once in front of the house.

A provision in the short term in the resolution authorizes the government to continue working until the House of Representatives, currently suspended, may vote on the bill.

However, as reported by the House may pass through pro-forma vote, if only some of the members present, before the end of the week.

Agreement appears to end the latest series of disagreements between them, which has paralyzed Congress and exposed sharp differences between Republicans and Democrats.

"Unprecedented"

The agreement came even Fema revealed that he had the ability to continue relief operations for the rest of the week in areas affected by floods, tornadoes and hurricanes.

In the agreement, the Democrat-controlled Senate approved a measure that would eliminate the expense of an incumbent Republican budget by $ 1.5 billion (1 billion) in a program of cutting electric cars.

As a compromise, the Democrats offered a new figure of $ 3 billion in funding for rescue operations - lower than the demand last week, and mirroring of the Republican proposals.

Last Friday, the House of Representatives approved the Republican version of the bill, but was rejected by Democrats in the Senate that day.

The agreement ends the possibility of a government shutdown on September 30.

But the majority of Americans say they are satisfied with the work of the legislators are doing, the dispute is perceived only as an indicator of how partisan bitterness complicates the ability of Congress to move even the most elementary laws.

Democrats said it was unprecedented to insist that the cuts come with a much needed relief.

Previously, it was feared that the financing of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) runs out on Tuesday if the law does not go first.

FEMA has faced finding the money to help areas affected this summer by Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee, as well as fires and tornadoes.

We have reached a dead end of 12 members of Congress to a "super-committee" is defined to find the $ 1.5tn savings in federal spending for the next 10 years.

The committee will submit its recommendations on 23 November, and Congress must vote on the proposal of 23 December.
