PSC Statement on Continuing Resolution to Keep the Government Open
Arlington, Va. (Dec. 3, 2021)
The Professional Services Council (PSC) welcomes the enactment of the continuing resolution (CR) to prevent a lapse in appropriations and a full federal government shutdown. This legislation sets a new deadline of February 18, 2021, to fund government operations.
“The federal government started Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) under a CR for the 11th time in 12 years. Funding under this next stopgap measure will run out in a little more than two months,” said PSC President and CEO David Berteau. “Our federal government customers need full appropriations to be enacted as soon as possible. Passing a CR every few months is harmful, inefficient, and wasteful.”
Every year, PSC urges the timely enactment of full-year appropriations to avoid the negative impacts that shutdowns and CRs have on government missions, operations, and functions as well as on the government and contractor workforce.
“Trust in government is increased when government operates better, and wise use of federal contractors is the best way to help make it operate better, across the board. That is what America needs,” Berteau stated. “We know the benefits of stable, predictable, and available funding. The uncertainty of future funding and the constraints of CRs mean that agencies must slow down or halt programs, hampering the delivery of services to the nation. PSC urges both Congress and administration to agree on funding levels for FY22 and FY23 and to enact full appropriations well before this next CR expires.”
