So the aid proposed doesnt match even half of the damages we know about. And I am convinced that the Federal Government must absorb 60 percent of these losses because they are so massive and widespread. Despite the obvious emergency. I recently heard some insisting that we find offsetting cuts to fund flood relief. And I have received letters from some Senate colleagues urging the same thing. Let me respond to those who would delay this critical aid package even further on the grounds that we must find offsetting spending cuts. In the last several years Congress has funded relief efforts for: Kurdish refugees. Hurricane Bob. Hurricane Andrew.
