Mr. Speaker, I rise to present legislation providing emergency supplemental funding for Hurricane Sandy relief and recovery.
The base bill totals $17 billion in crucial funding to meet immediate needs for the victims, businesses and communities devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Since this terrible storm hit, we have come to realize that recovery is going to take months and years – not days and weeks. This legislation puts the region on the path to recovery by providing the aid needed for immediate relief, while also beginning the process of meeting longer-term recovery needs.

Rogers: “It is my honor and privilege to serve side by side with some of the hardest workers in Congress – the Subcommittee Chairs and Members of the Appropriations committee. It is through their dedication and steadfast commitment to responsible governing that we can help address the nation’s many fiscal challenges."
