      The article reports that the White House and the U.S. Congress kept their attempts to achieve an agreement for the debt ceiling which would reach its top on October 17, 2013. It says that it would reach its top when the Treasury Department stated that it will be left with $30 billion in cash in order to pay the bills of the government. It also mentions that the legislators were seeking to accomplish the agreement to heighten the debt ceiling of the nation and to end the government shutdown.
