On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
Mr. President, this supplemental is entirely justified. Its urgency is justified as well. Along the lines of urgency, I would like to submit, if I may, for the Record, a document entitled "The Urgency of Supplemental Appropriations for the Federal Emergency Management Agency," which was compiled on February 3, and at that point indicated that FEMA would run out of funds, without the supplemental, in 13 days. At this point, those days are less than 10.
