EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
THE DIRECTOR
September 30, 2013
M-13-24
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
FROM: M.
Duector wGVVfl /
SUBJECT: Update on Status of Operations
This memorandum follows the September 17,2013, Memorandum M-13-22, and
provides an update on the potential lapse of appropriations.
Appropriations provided under the Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113-6) expire at 11:59 pm tonight. Unfortunately, we do not
have a clear indication that Congress will act in time for the President to sign a Continuing
Resolution before the end of the day tomorrow, October 1, 2013. Therefore, agencies should
now execute plans for an orderly shutdown due to the absence of appropriations. We urge
Congress to act quickly to pass a Continuing Resolution to provide a short-term bridge that
ensures sufficient time to pass a budget for the remainder of the fiscal year, and to restore the
operation of critical public services and programs that will be impacted by a lapse in
appropriations.
Agencies should continue to closely monitor developments, and OMB will provide
further guidance as appropriate. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and the work you and
your agencies do on behalf of the American people.
