Agreement to End the Shutdown?

The Senate has apparently arrived at a deal to end the shutdown. It appears to be in three parts.

Part 1 - A legislative package that would fund the Department of Agriculture and the FDA, the Department of Veterans Affairs and military construction projects, and the operations of Congress, for the full fiscal year.

Part 2 - All other agencies would be funded through Jan. 30, according to the text of a continuing resolution.

Part 3 - Majority Leader John Thune is promising Senate Democrats a vote in mid-December to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that are due to expire at the end of the year without Congressional action. Democrats will also get to determine what extension bill receives that vote.

Of course there  is no guarantee that the ACA subsidies will pass but given that the Dems will get to choose the bill helps.
