WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives takes up legislation on Monday that would lift a partial government shutdown that started over the weekend, with a final vote expected on Tuesday.
Funding for the Pentagon, the Department of Transportation and several other agencies expired on Saturday, as a dispute over immigration enforcement complicated efforts to approve spending legislation. So far disruption has been minimal, as workers deemed "essential," such as troops and air traffic controllers, have remained on the job.
