The U.S. Senate on Oct. 2 approved a 30-day extension of funding for federal highway programs.

A day after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the extension, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) brought it to the Senate floor by asking for unanimous consent. The move lets a bill pass without a recorded vote but enables a single senator to block it through an objection.
