US President Barack Obama has signed into law a spending bill, averting an impending shutdown of federal government services.
The bill, worth nearly $1tn (£645bn), was earlier passed by the Senate and had already been backed by the House of Representatives.
Government agencies including those for defence and labour faced shutdown this weekend without the legislation.
It follows Senate approval of a two-month extension to a payroll tax break.
