WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Austin Scott (GA-08) today released the following statement after supporting H.R. 1968, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act.

“I supported the continuing resolution to keep our government open today. Our fiscal year starts October 1st, and we need to immediately start the appropriations process for the next fiscal year so we don’t end up in this situation again," Rep. Scott said.
