Hurricane Iniki. Typhoon Omar. the Chicago flood. and the Los Angeles riots. Those relief efforts wore emergency spending bills. We did not hesitate to help. I have no problem with paying as we go. But it should not prevent us from immediately responding to disasters. as we always have before. For example. in May 1991. Congress approved 3715 million for Kurdish refugee relief. That was not even in the budget. It passed by a voice vote. Most recently. in September 1992. the Senate voted 84 to 10 to give $5 billion to people and communities hit by Typhoon Omar in Guam and Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki.
