Is their need an emergency? I believe so. Two years ago. at the request of the Bush administration. the Congress approved emergency legislation to provide financial aid to the nations of Israel and Turkey. as well as to refugees from Iraq. In the Senate. the vote on final passage of the bill that provided aid to Israel and Turkey was 92 to 8. and 82 percent of the Senators on the other side of the aisle supported final passage of that bill. Thirty Members who today still sit on the other side of the aisle of the Senate voted for that emergency supplemental appropriation bill.
