Republican leaders in Congress agreed Tuesday on a temporary fix for keeping the federal highway program funded for three months beyond its expiration Friday, postponing until the fall a bigger struggle over how to pay for infrastructure in the longer term.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said Tuesday that he welcomed a new proposal from House GOP leaders that would fund the highway program through Oct. 29 without reviving the contentious Export-Import Bank.
