The EPA is to remain open, using "unobligated balance" carry over funds.

Later, mentioned unobligated funds and those already at the agency.

NAFTA negotiations (due to start on Monday) will go on, using transfer
of funds and financig flexibility,

NASA not mentioned. But it appears that much flexibility exists to
continue to operate normally. It was mentioned that government workers
have been sent "go to work, go to work for 4 hours to "shutdown"
operation, or don't show up" memos. (but not mentioned if separate
agencies got this).


What they don't mention is that THOSE GOVERNMENT WORKERS ***DO NOT GET
PAID*** until it's all over.
