President Joe Biden has signed into law a temporary measure to keep the government funded until early December and avoid yet another federal shutdown.
Congress narrowly passed the bill hours before funding lapsed, which would have forced federal museums, national parks and safety programmes to close.
The bill also includes money for hurricane relief and Afghan refugees.
However a separate vote on President Biden’s massive $1tn (£750bn) infrastructure bill was postponed.
Mr Biden, who signed the bill averting a shutdown with just hours to go, said its passage “reminds us that bipartisan work is possible”.
