1981, 1984, and 1986 U.S. federal government shutdowns

During the Reagan Administration, government shutdowns were not uniformly enforced during funding gaps, but workers were furloughed on three occasions.

Three government shutdowns in 1981, 1984, and 1986 involved federal employees being furloughed for brief periods. The shutdowns were generally used by President Ronald Reagan to pressure Congress about specific provisions in appropriations bills, or to encourage Congress to pass the bills more quickly.
