House Appropriations Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey said his committee will take “quick action” once an official request for money is made by the Trump administration. His Senate counterpart, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, “is prepared to respond to any requests for supplemental appropriations for Hurricane Harvey response and recovery,” a spokesman said.
