We know, Madam Chairman, on the same weekend as the Earthquake in Los Angeles, there was an earthquake in my district in Wyomissing, PA, which caused several million dollars in damage to homes, roads and municipal infrastructure. Governor Casey has already declared this area a disaster area and has requested assistance from President Clinton. Assuming the President and FEMA approves the request, are there sufficient funds to cover eligible activities?
