Thank you. Seems to me, though, that we should be on his budget as of Oct 1.
Characteristically, that is what happens, more or less, as continuing resolutions evolve. The larger problem is that the lack of regular budgets undermines long term planning in that agencies cannot start the budget year knowing what they will have in funding and for what purposes. This is especially harmful for long term contracting as is common in defense and transportation. The result is that suppliers and builders cannot offer lower prices based on multiyear expectations.
