The Senate has rejected an attempt to freeze federal pay and the size of the government workforce.
The chamber on Thursday blocked an amendment by Republican Senator John Thune (SD).
The measure was aimed at paying for a jobs and tax bill, in part by eliminating federal pay raises and bonuses for 2011. It would have also held the number of federal workers at current levels.
