国会领导人宣布，他们已经就大约900亿美元的冠状病毒救济和经济援助措施达成了一项协议，其中包括向个人付款，小型企业的贷款以及运输工人和其他人的资金。

民主党和共和党领导人宣布该协议将于12月20日晚上宣布，预计将与一项范围内的1.4亿美元拨款措施相结合，以保持政府机构，包括其建设计划，持续到2021年9月30日，本财政年度的结束。

Also part of the bipartisan, bicameral agreement is a new Water Resources Development Act, or WRDA which will authorize $9.9 billion in federal funds for 46 US Army Corps of Engineers water projects.

The text of the legislation and other specifics were not immediately available.

But among provisions that affect construction and engineering companies, the coronavirus relief portion of the envisioned package would include $284 billion to restart the Paycheck Protection Program of forgivable loans to small businesses, key lawmakers said.

建筑部门是PPP贷款的最大接收者之一。该计划于3月26日于8月8日到期，该计划于3月26日颁布。

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), a top GOP negotiator, said in a statement that the legislation's “second draw” of the PPP would be aimed at “the hardest-hit small businesses.”

目前尚不清楚这项新交易是否还会使以前的PPP贷款从接受者公司的收入中扣除。商业团体一直在游说以寻求扣除性。

According to a联合声明来自主要的民主谈判者 - 众议院议长南希·佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）（D-Calif。）和参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）（D-N.Y.） - 冠状病毒救济措施还为高校和学校提供了820亿美元帮助减少冠状病毒的传播。

佩洛西（Pelosi）和舒默（Schumer）补充说，该立法包括“州高速公路，苦苦挣扎的过境机构，Amtrak和机场”的270亿美元，Pelosi和Schumer在一份联合声明中说

根据Pelosi办公室立法的摘要，这笔270亿美元包括140亿美元的运输，100亿美元用于州高速公路，机场和机场特许经营者的20亿美元，私人汽车教练，校车和10亿美元的20亿美元对于Amtrak。<。

运输资金预计将主要用于运营费用，而不是基础设施。例外可能是高速公路资金。

The emerging final version of the legislation also drops items each party had pushed for. Republicans did not get a liability shield they had sought for companies to protect them from coronavirus-related lawsuits; Democrats were unable to gain the $160 billion in direct aid to state and local governments they had wanted.

But Pelosi said Democrats found other ways to help states and localities, including the addition of a one-year extension of the deadline for states and localities to use state and local aid provided in the CARES Act.

为了关闭政府关闭，议员们准备了为期两天的停车费支出法案。它将成功将在12月20日午夜到期的较早法案。

The extension, which the House passed within a couple of hours after the agreement on the coronavirus relief measure was announced, will give lawmakers and staff time to complete work on the pending legislative package and bring it to both chambers' floors for votes before the Christmas holidays.

舒默在与佩洛西（Pelosi）的联合新闻发布会上说，新措施“远非完美”。但是他补充说：“使事情继续前进，这是一个强烈的射门。”

佩洛西说，民主党人“非常高兴”看到立法中包括WRDA。她指出，水资源法案是双方，两党谈判的产物，将成为“求职者”。
