(Bloomberg) -- Congressional negotiators cleared the last significant obstacle for pandemic relief legislation with a compromise in a dispute over the future of Federal Reserve emergency lending programs, setting up a possible vote on Sunday.
The compromise would clear the way for a final agreement on a roughly $900 billion plan to help the U.S. economy weather the coronavirus pandemic. The House and Senate could act as soon as Sunday on the legislation, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer told reporters late Saturday, saying that negotiators were “very close.”
“If things continue on this path and nothing gets in the way, we’ll be able to vote tomorrow,” the New York Democrat said.
