The U.S. House of Representatives avoided a government shutdown by passing legislation that will extend funding into mid-March. However, the bill no longer includes language that would transfer control of the RFK campus in the nation’s capital from the federal government to the District.

A provision to transfer the land that is the site of the old RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia is no longer included in Congress’ short-term spending bill that lawmakers are racing to pass before a government shutdown.
