Washington, Jumada I 9, 1434, Mar 21, 2013, SPA -- The US House of Representatives approved a short-term budget bill Thursday that would remove the looming threat of a government shutdown by funding the US government through the end of the year, dpa reported.

The lower chamber of Congress passed the measure 318-109, a day
after the upper Senate had approved the effort 73-26.

President Barack Obama has indicated he will sign the measure into
law, despite the fact that it maintains 85 billion dollars in
across-the-board austerity measures that took effect this month.

The measure would extend spending authority through the budget
year ending September 30.

Congress has been under pressure to produce a bill because if a
short-term funding blueprint cannot be agreed to before March 27, the
government would run out of money.

To avert a government shutdown Congress has had to pass a series
of short-term measures because it did not pass a year-long budget.
