House NOW debating short-term gov't funding through Dec. 3rd to avert a gov't shutdown on Sept. 30th with an increase to debt limit until Dec. 2022 included. Also provides $28.6B for disaster relief and $6.3B for helping Afghan evacuees who were relocated to US.
House Approps Chair DeLauro in House floor debate in support of short-term CR: "This is not a long-term solution. It simply allows additional time for bicameral, bipartisan negotiations on a final year bill for fiscal year 2022." 
House Approps Ranking Member Granger opposing short-term CR with debt limit increase included: "We should not pretend by considering this bill on the floor of the House today we will be any closer of sending a bill to the President's desk to prevent a gov't shutdown."
Hoyer on Iron Dome funding: "It is my intention to bring to this floor a suspension bill before the end of this week that will fund fully Iron Dome. I was for that. I'm still for it. We ought to do."
Pelosi on debt limit increase: "This has always been bipartisan. Not everybody on every side of the aisle has voted for it, but nobody would let it fail."
