The new extension is "an option" for now, a senior House GOP leadership aide stressed, planned with no to it by the House. If negotiators come up with a broader agreement, the new house proposal could be modified, the aide said.

Republican leaders rejected before the possibility of one more short-term spending have kept resolution such as those who financed the Government for the first half of fiscal year 2011.

Have been through the publication of the new short-term proposal on Monday evening, House Republicans will make sure that she could be measure before the end of the current issues on Friday. Invoices must be online available for 72 hours before a vote under the rules adopted in January.

Adviser to House majority leader John Boehner said, that the legislators also said House Administration of Chairman Dan Lungren, R-California, to issue instructions to all the members Tuesday on how the House of the Government shutdown would work.

Earlier, House majority leader accused Democrats, Eric Cantor, R-Virginia "promotion of false promises and use sleight of hand budgeting, to obtain an imaginary expenditure figure, much to is low."

However, said Senate majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, it was Republicans denied were, on a bill passed by the GOP controlled House, which cut $61 billion in discretionary funding would endanger.

Democrats consider the House Bill, draconian, complain that it would cut the main programmes for continued economic recovery, and eliminates funding for others by conservative public, such as such as planned parenthood and national radio.

Reid cited movement conservatives supported by the tea party for their unwillingness to work with his side.

"Tea party Republicans refuse to recognize that their budget is simply a frightening proposal", Reid said the House Bill. "they stamp their feet and calling"Compromise"a dirty word and insist on a budget, which will hurt America rather than help."

Carney called for "Solutions, the support of both parties, can accumulate" pushing a process "where both sides come together, calm, ready to throw because they know not get them all, what they want their maximalist position on board."

He said, invitations for the meeting Tuesday on Reid; Boehner, R-Ohio; Senate resources of Committee Chairman Dan Inouye, D-Hawaii; and Rogers, R-Kentucky.

Examples of compulsory expenditure are programs Pell grants, health insurance programme for children, and some types of highway funding. Such programs are for several years at a time, with the expenditure for the period covered, free funding for each year of congressional approval.

According to senior democratic source, the chiefs of staff Inouye and Rogers during the weekend negotiated, and the gap between them is about $ 8 billion to $10 billion.

Several democratic sources say it about half the total cuts in this spending bill programs want to come of compulsory expenditure, and that they have put forward the necessary reductions in programs at the U.S. Department of agriculture, the Ministry of Justice, the Treasury and Pell grants.

Republicans, who want a reduction in the size of government expenditure according to note that the reduction in the expenditure in mandatory activities for a year that prevent amount does not go back to the original version in the following year.

"I have made clear that their $33 billion is not enough, and many of the cuts, which Democrats say the White House and Senate full of smoke and mirrors are," said Boehner Monday.

Other questions include negotiating the number of cuts in military discretionary spending and so-called "policy driver" by Republicans to federal funds it to prevent such as planned parenthood oppose programs sought. Democratic sources also say Republicans Cut on a democratic proposal to $2 billion to $3 billion in military spending are to take.

On Sunday, top senators from both sides said she expected to avoid much to a Government shutdown but clearly one that other looming budget battles, that there is little consensus.

Reid said on the CBS program "face the nation", that fears a backlash by the conservative movement tea party, Republican negotiators if they meet the Democrats half way on a budget deal.

As a result of an increase in the conservative support driven by the tea party movement Republicans won control of the House in November and reduced the Democratic majority in the Senate.

Tea of party activists criticized already Boehner for data control signals agreement on smaller cuts as passed in the Bill by the House demanded but rejected by the Senate.

Boehner's uncompromising attitude to Monday of the conservative concern against.

"It is clear unfortunately to me, and to the American people, that the White House and Senate Democrats simply not serious yet on adoption of real expenditure cuts," Boehner said in a statement.
