Vice President Mike Pence said Monday the federal government has adequate funding on hand to deal with the historic flooding and damage done by Hurricane Harvey, possibly looking to tamp down concerns that Congress could get into a spending fight over the cost of the storm’s aftermath.

Lawmakers from hard-hit Texas and Louisiana say they expect Congress will have to add a Hurricane Harvey aid bill to its packed autumn agenda. But Pence told a Houston television station that could be unnecessary.

“In speaking with FEMA officials, we truly believe that we have the reserves to address the financial burden of this crisis,” he said.

But the VP left open the door that the administration might have to ask lawmakers for more aid dollars.
