Graham: Congress Must Reconvene to Pass Aid for Hurricane Helene Relief, Israel

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement urging Congress to reconvene in order to pass a supplemental aid package to fund Hurricane Helene recovery efforts and provide missile defense assistance to Israel in the wake of Iran's large-scale attack.

"It is imperative that Congress reconvene to pass a supplemental aid package for the damage done to the Southeast by Hurricane Helene and also to provide missile defense assistance to Israel, which is under attack from the Iranian regime.

"We need to help our people at home and stand with our allies abroad. I want the people affected by this terrible storm to see speedy federal relief, and I want Iran to see great resolve when it comes to Congress' willingness to assist Israel. I am reaching out to Republican and Democratic colleagues to put a package together as soon as possible."
