Trump requests 7.9 billion Harvey aid down payment
President Trump asks for an initial 7.9 billion toward Harvey relief and recovery, adding 7.4 billion to FEMA disaster aid and 450 million for small business disaster loans. GOP leaders plan to couple the package with a debt limit increase, while Democrats and some conservatives express caution. Congress must act by Sept 29 to avert a default as cash reserves dwindle.
