Senate Approves $10.5 Billion for Hurricane Relief
Late last night the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill authorizing $10.5 billion in relief funding for the areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The House is expected to follow suit today. Congress returned to Washington from their summer recess early to address the devastation left Monday by Hurricane Katrina as 145 mile per hour winds slammed into the Gulf Coast states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and earlier, Florida.
