On the recordFebruary 3, 1994

I rise in strong support of H.R. 3759, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1994. Chapter VII provides $5,365,600,000 in emergency funds requested by the administration for the Federal Emergency Management Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Veterans Affairs to respond to the southern California earthquake. The $5.4 billion consists of: $4.5 billion for FEMA's disaster relief fund; $250 million for HUD's community development grants program; $225 million for HUD's annual contributions account--primarily for rental housing assistance for an estimated 15,000 dislocated families; $100 million for HUD's flexible subsidy fund to repair federally insured and/or assisted multifamily housing projects; and $66.6 million for VA to cover costs associated with the closing of hospital at Sepulveda.
