It also calls for almost $250 billion in new spending on public works and expanded preschool education and $800 billion in new taxes, including a new 94-cent tax on cigarettes. Among the bill's more unique provisions is $78 million for NASA to "pursue innovative approaches to visiting an asteroid."

In February, the Postal Service announced that ending Saturday mail would save the agency $2 billion a year. But language in a short-term funding plan approved by Congress and meant to overhaul the Postal Service includes language for six days of delivery.
