The plan involves buying distressed mortgages and securities backed by mortgages from banks and other institutions to shore up the financial industry.

The 263-171 vote came after the House rejected an earlier version of the bill on Monday. The Senate approved a revised bill on Wednesday that added tax breaks and increased the limit on federal deposit insurance.

Shares of Darden Restaurants Inc., which operates the Red Lobster and Olive Garden chains, fell 74 cents to $27.83 while shares of McDonald's Corp. rose 8 cents to $61.96.
