WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday that Congress will likely resort to a short-term federal spending extension for the start of the new fiscal year on Oct. 1, blaming Senate Democrats for blocking Republican-backed funding bills.

"It's pretty clear, given the number of days we have here and in September, that we're going to have to do a CR of some sort," Boehner said during a news conference, referring to a continuing resolution to extend funding at current levels.

"But no decision's been made about that. We'll deal with it in September when we get back," he said.
