Friday marked the end of the fiscal year of the Federal Government, d. once again by a Government shutdown is h., in the light of the climate in Washington, D.C., in these days. No output into account for the next financial year the Congress has passed. Yesterday, even a stopgap got a measure to keep the Government in the economy after the October 1 in a partisan fight - this time about electric cars and disaster assistance confused. Congress NPR correspondent David Welna strengthened. David, thank you very much for us.
DAVID WELNA: Sure, Scott.
SIMON: And tell us, please, the link for any type of car and money for the victims of weather disasters.
WELNA: Well, you know, it very little, if any, links them although some might say that electric cars are part of the funding for global warming, which many say, tightened these weather disasters. But in this legislation, the cars are in fact bound to use disaster relief since House Republicans has started you - a program, by the way, lop, which during the last Bush - a large part of the money from a loan guarantee programme for the development of electric cars and these savings to help numbers for 3, $65 billion for disaster assistance in this law for FEMA.
SIMON: But if the offsets are important, why the Republican leaders in the House came up with only 1.6 billion dollar value of them when you say the FEMA funds over 3 billion are?
WELNA: good, when traditionally never to pay money from other programs for emergency aid Congress has. Legislators put it essentially on these major credit card, like us, know the national debt. But this time some Republicans demanded that every cent of money disaster compensated by cuts elsewhere. But they could with a bigger fight with the Democrats if they cut still more, and they don't want those under the guilt be, if the money is held up. So they chose only a program that many Republicans are very skeptical and they took some money, but not all.
SIMON: The Democratic run Senate has the repeal of the Bill passed the House voted. The Democrats risk taking the case if this dispute get worked next week not do?
WELNA: Well, I think that a certain risk to run, will get worked out this not following the Senate elected, keep the funding account yesterday wired back up solution. Here's what Utah Republicans had to say Orrin Hatch:
Senator ORRIN HATCH: I think that the Democrats are crazy to do so. I think, my God, you know, everybody knows that money to be there at the end. I mean, we go not to the communities suffer to make. Each of us have problems from time to time.
WELNA: How Luke says, is it regardless of whether Democrats or Republicans, to arrive not at assistance to victims of the disaster in that country almost unthinkable for members of Congress. And I think the Senate majority leader Harry Reid seems confident, one way or another has quite a kind of business will get worked next week. Here, rejection of the House Bill is Reid after yesterday's Senate.
Senator HARRY REID: Everyone needed some time in a while. The Government is not shut down. FEMA not of money. We come here Monday. More reasonable heads priority. And I would hope, over the weekend, that the four leaders can lead their troops in the right direction.
WELNA: So what Democrats hope is with this cooling period, that Republican senators received an artistic voters over the weekend and they pressure are put to say the Democrats means to vote, which considers the emergency aid in the Bill but it away with the electric-car loans offset, for Reid's version of the temporary solution would only lead to more jobs.
SIMON: that FEMA is going to run out of money doesn't seem likely in your statement. But what is the question, another threat in Government shutdown?
WELNA: Well, Senate Republicans will want to see a certain amount of pressure go ahead and Reid's Bill, and that would, that the House would have to come back. Actually had all next week for the Jewish holidays planned in the Senate, as well as in the House. But, of course, this is not now happen. And it would mean, you know, the House would have to again, and pass in the Senate or the Senate would give and go back and approve the Bill, which they have rejected yesterday. And no one wants a Government shutdown. And I think because everyone still wants the Government funds in the new fiscal year and disaster donations in it for FEMA, I have a it or otherwise think they find a way to do this, just because they were so badly burned the last showdown on federal funds.
SIMON: NPR's David Welna. Thank you very much.
WELNA: You are Scott welcome.
