The House of Representatives next week will take up a disaster aid bill that includes aid for Midwestern and Southern farmers, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Thursday.  “The House will consider H.R. 2157, Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2019,” Hoyer said. “The legislation would provide relief and recovery assistance for Americans affected by recent natural disasters.” “It includes an additional $3 billion to address urgent needs following flooding in the Midwest and tornadoes in the South that have occurred since the House passed its first disaster bill in January, which has languished in the Senate,” he said.
