5:02 am
build a powerful wall or steel barrier. >> reporter: but the short-term deal, no money for a wall, back pay for federal workers who missed paychecks, but nothing for thousands of federal contractors. the president also agreed to a bipartisan congressional conference which will try to hammer out a deal on border security. >> are you no longer ruling out any money for the wall? >> wait, wait, have i not been clear on a wall? no, i have been very clear on the wall. >> reporter: but the president has threatened to shut down the government again in three weeks or declare a national emergency if he doesn't get what he wants. the president was facing mounting political and public pressure. federal workers struggling to pay bills in food lines, delays at airports due to unpaid air traffic controllers and tsa agents calling out. more than half of the 26,000 irs workers recalled for the tax season didn't show up to work. >> shutting down the government over a policy difference is
5:03 am
self-defeating. >> reporter: as federal agencies, parks and museums tart to reopen, the president and lawmakers say federal workers will receive that back pay in the coming days. kenneth moton, abc news, washington. >> the president was criticized by some people for allowing the government to reopen without the $5.7 billion for a border wall. last night he tweeted i wish people would read or listen to my words on the border wall. this was in no way a concession. it was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, it's off to the races. so when will federal workers get paid? former treasury department employees say it likely won't happen until next week. first they'll have to file time cards. agencies will have to approve them and then the treasury department will have to issue the checks. that's unwelcome news for many bay area families who say they're struggling right now. unser has their reaction. >> are you hungry?
5:04 am

5:05 am
they're behind on bills and used savings to pay renti. across the bay area many coast guard families have turned to food banks and other charities just to meet basic needs, like food. >> do i just hoard these paychecks because i'm nervous. will we be able to pay for our kids' food. >> reporter: some federal workers took advantage of no-interest loans which they were offered which is supposed to be paid back as soon as the government reopens. many now have to figure out with this being just a temporary fix if their loans are due now as well. federal workers in the bay area rallied at the oakland airport saying while they're somewhat relieved by yesterday's news, they're still worried about the government shutting down again in three weeks. >> no more shutdown! >> tsa workers, other federal employees and representatives of bay area labor unions called on lawmakers to find a permanent ending to the shutdown.
5:06 am

5:08 am
>> it was pretty calm for the most part and then we realized all of our stuff was under the bus. that's like our uniform and our shoes, so we got a little nervous after that but everything made it out so we were very lucky. >> reporter: after two and a half hours the team was transported to the university of washington campus in a city bus. >> we got some of our kids on there nervous about the meet and then this happens and you realize that there's much bigger things in life. i think that perspective is actually probably really valuable for them. >> reporter: some students back on the stanford campus were worried for their friends. >> i was really scared. i texted her. oh, my gosh, what's wrong, are you okay? she was like our bus caught on fire, but we're fine. >> reporter: their message to everyone back home? >> we're safe, doing great, ready to compete and make the school proud. the meet must go on. >> reporter: and the track meet is expected to go on as scheduled saturday. now, students actually spent the night washing their clothes to get rid of the stench of smoke. once their meet is done, they will fly back.
