With less than two hours to spare, the White House and Congressional leaders has reached an agreement in the short term late Friday to cut billions of dollars in spending and avoid a judgment of midnight of the US Government.
The last-minute agreement retains the Government until next Thursday - time course, expect all sides to build a more permanent measure that would keep Federal operations of operation for another six months.
The agreement, which calls for more than 37 billion dollars, in reductions in federal spending to 30 September prevented the first partial closure of the US Government in 15 years. This closure lasted 21 days.
If the transaction had not been reached, have handed over hundreds of thousands of federal workers and services of the national parks of tax-season centres would have been a.
The agreement was possible because "Americans of different beliefs met", President Barack Obama said in a late-night television address.
He said the cuts could be "painful" but said that the White House had managed to protect its priority programs Republicans who wanted larger cuts. But he acknowledged that "the two parties had difficult decisions".
The result, said Obama, was "the largest expenditures annual cut in history."

"This is historic, what we did", said another key man in the talks, the leader of the majority in the Senate, Democrat Harry Reid.
The House and the Senate have been precipitate in a stopgap Bill until a broader Bill could be finalized.
Hectic negotiations, last minute came after a day in which the Obama and senior officials of the Government were working feverishly behind the scenes to cross a budget impasse - even though they exchanged public barbs blaming each other of the fracture.
The two parties spent the day trying to cobble together an agreement on how to slash federal spending, where cut and what warning to attach in a Bill to fund the Government through the fall. A federal temporary spending measure was created to expire at midnight Friday. This delay had been allowed to come and go, the Government of the United States would have closed all non-essential Federal programs.

Critics said a temporary leave without pay for 800,000 federal workers would have drawbacks of millions of people and damaged a fragile economy.
Both parties will have to meet their own basic if they are perceived to have conceded too much.
Republicans had intended that more important than Democrats spending reductions and had intended that the provisions to cut federal funding for family planning and a stop to the Protection Agency environmental licensing of many pollution control regulations.
In the end, Democrats and the White House succeeded in pushing Republican attempts to limit the scope of the EPA and they were able to divert Republican requirements to deny federal funding of family planning.
