    How would continuing to pay military personnel during a shutdown affect the federal government's incentive to resolve budget disagreements quickly?

  2. 02

    Which defense civilian employees and contractors would be included or excluded from this bill's pay protections, and how might that create equity concerns?

  3. 03
