President Bush signed a 3.45 billion earthquake relief bill for California, the largest disaster aid package to date. The measure prevents a federal shutdown and funds recovery through November 15 while pending spending bills are resolved.

House backs broadened farm disaster aid plan
The House approved legislation to boost federal disaster aid for farmers who planted replacement crops after drought losses. The measure, already backed by the Senate, would relax Agriculture Department restrictions seen as too strict, ensuring disaster payments reflect production costs for second crops. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen praised the move as fairer to growers earning little profit on the second crop.
