Congress will be passing an emergency spending bill quickly to aid those who have been displaced and harmed by the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.

The following is a statement from Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) on the terrible tragedy in the Gulf states and the need for immediate federal assistance:

"Our hearts go out to the people of Mississippi and Louisiana and all of the Gulf states affected by Hurricane Katrina.

"America stood with New York in its time of need and we will stand with the people of the Gulf states now that they need us.

"We will do everything we can to make sure that New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf region gets the funds and support to recover and rebuild."
