Sept. 25 (UPI) -- The White House has warned federal workers there will be more mass firings if Congress is unable to agree on a stopgap funding measure by the end of the month.
The warning came in the form of a memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget sent to federal agencies and viewed and first reported on by Politico.
CNN and The New York Times also viewed the memo sent Wednesday night.
The OMB asked the federal agencies to identify programs that would lose funding and have no other sources of funding if the stopgap measure measure fails to pass by Sept. 30. Programs that don't align with President Donald Trump's priorities would then face a permanent elimination of jobs.
