WASHINGTON -- Federal Emergency Management Agency officials have been busy
convincing Congress to quickly fill its emergency aid coffers, as the
agency finds its funds drained by the natural disasters that have hit the
country in recent months. The insistence, led by House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor (R-Va.), that Congress should cut spending elsewhere to offset
disaster relief funding, led to a partisan standoff and nearly shut down
the government.
.
On Friday, however, FEMA officials found themselves busy answering to
Cantor for another reason: He had requested a conference call to get
updates on the disbursement of aid requested by Virginia Gov. Bob
McDonnell (R) for his district, which was affected by the Aug. 23 East
Coast earthquake.
.
According to a read-out of the call from Cantor's office, as reported by
the Richmond Times-Dispatch, "FEMA said they have received the Governor's
request and sent it to the White House for a decision but could not
provide any specific information on timing. Even when asked for an
estimate based on past applications they were unable to do so."
.
A FEMA spokesperson confirmed that the call happened on Friday, and said
Cantor's office had requested it on Sept. 22.
.
Cantor also called Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano, "asking for additional information and a better sense of
timing," according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
.
Napolitano's office declined to comment.
.
Jesse Ferguson, spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee (DCCC), quickly criticized Cantor for looking for FEMA aid while
the agency was struggling to stay afloat during the congressional funding
standoff.
.
"The only thing worse than Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor's
outrageous plan to hold disaster relief hostage to his push for radical
cuts in job creation is his brazen hypocrisy in trying to convince his
constituents back home that he stood with them in the first place," said
Ferguson.
