Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced a deal to end the partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration that has left 74,000 transportation and construction workers idled.
“I am pleased to announce that we have been able to broker a bipartisan compromise between the House and the Senate to put 74,000 transportation and construction workers back to work,” Reid said in a statement Thursday without specifying the details.
“This agreement does not resolve the important differences that still remain. But I believe we should keep Americans working while Congress settles its differences, and this agreement will do exactly that,” he said.
The deal is just between Senate Democrats and the White House because the GOP-led House already passed its FAA funding bill, a House source with knowledge of the details told Fox News.
