GRASSLEY COMMENTS ON GOVERNOR CULVER'S VISIT TO D.C., AND A DELAY IN THE EMERGENCY FLOOD APPROPRIATIONS

Senator Chuck Grassley today released the following statement after meeting with Iowa Governor Chet Culver. Grassley also learned today that the Senate Appropriations Committee had once again postponed consideration of an emergency appropriations bill.

Here is Grassley comment.

"The Governor's voice echoing what we've been saying will be very helpful. We have to dispel the notion that this is just another flood. We have an emergency. Iowans are hurting and need our help. When we put together assistance for New York after 9/11 and Louisiana and the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, we all worked to get the job done and help the people of New York and the Gulf Coast. Now it's time to help the people of Iowa and we expect the same sort of response."
