Senate Majority Leader Frist and Speaker of the House Hastert released the following statement today:

---

“The Administration notified the leadership of the Congress earlier today that FEMA was running low on funds for immediate assistance and would need funds sooner than the next regularly scheduled session, September 6. Upon this notification, we immediately consulted with Leader Pelosi and Leader Reid and we all agreed to invoke our emergency powers and called the Congress to reconvene.

“We also agreed to pass the emergency supplemental by unanimous consent so we can move quickly, and time will not be spent waiting to reconvene our members. The House will pass an emergency supplemental bill tomorrow; the bill will be immediately sent to the Senate, passed and be available for the President’s signature.”

“In the wake of this disaster, the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, should know that the United States Congress stands ready to help them in their time of need.”
