WASHINGTON — The House today passed, on a bipartisan 354 to 58 vote, legislation to provide relief and recovery assistance for Americans affected by hurricanes, typhoons, wildfires, and other recent natural disasters.
WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita M. Lowey (D-NY-17) today delivered the following remarks on the House Floor in support of $19.1 billion bicameral, bipartisan disaster relief legislation:

It's been nine months since Hurricane Florence struck the Southeast, just one of the many natural disasters – including other hurricanes, Pacific typhoons, and Western wildfires – that impacted our fellow Americans last year.
