Carter (R-TX-31) Chair of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee released the following statement regarding the Presidents request for $7.85 billion in supplemental funding to address the immediate needs of Hurricane Harvey:
As the Chairman in the House of Representatives responsible for allocating disaster relief funding I believe the Presidents request of an additional $7.85 billion in supplemental funding is a necessary next step towards assisting our communities in immediate need. However rebuilding and recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Harvey will continue to require further resources and hard work. I will continue to work closely alongside my colleagues in the Texas Delegation and the Appropriations Committee to meet the needs of our neighbors in the southeast. Texans continue to show resiliency in the wake of destruction and heartbreak and my prayers are with those impacted by this devastating storm.
