I am informed that the Senator from New York. in seeking relief for his constituents. is certainly entitled to do so. However. the budget for the Federal Emergency Management Agency is broke. The Cuban refugee situation has drained the money in that budget. Therefore. regardless of every additional request for money put into that bucket is going to either deplete the money for other emergencies or require a supplemental aid reouest in addition to what is there already. I do feel the same as the Senator from New York. that his constituents are certainly entitled to as much relief as those dollars used for the Cuban refugees. However. the barrel is empty and dry. Many people will not admit the fact that the budget is busted concerning what is available for manmade disasters versus disasters implemented by nature and acts of God. The disaster of the increased refugees used that source of dollars which is no longer available for the relief of the citizens of the State of New York. the State of Nebraska. or the problem with Mount St. Helens.
