Paul Coverdell: “Getting the emergency relief where it needs to go, protecting its ability to do its work, is in the President's hands…”

On the recordJune 9, 1997
Getting the emergency relief where it needs to go, protecting its ability to do its work, is in the President's hands now because Congress--particularly here in the Senate, but the House as well--has sent a broadly based, broadly agreed-to document to the President. So, if it doesn't move on to the people who need it, the President will have to accept that responsibility.
