That deal is meant to avoid a partial government shutdown later this month.
In a statement, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said the top-line figure includes $886 billion for defense and another $704 billion for non-defense spending.
However, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, in a separate statement, said the non-defense spending figure would be higher, closer to $772 billion.
The defense portion had already been signed into law by President Joe Biden last month.
And according to Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries...
The non-defense discretionary funding will "protect key domestic priorities like veterans benefits, healthcare and nutrition assistance."
The move comes as Congress was scheduled to return to Washington this week to tackle deadlines coming up on January 19 and February 2 for settling government spending through September.
Biden said on Sunday the deal moved the country one step closer to "preventing a needless government shutdown and protecting important national priorities."
But a more difficult task is still to come.
The Republican-controlled House and the Democratic-controlled Senate still have to agree on exactly where the funds will go.
