House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) issued a joint statement on Wednesday announcing that the House will hold two votes on Hurricane Sandy relief in the coming weeks:

“Getting critical aid to the victims of Hurricane Sandy should be the first priority in the new Congress, and that was reaffirmed today with members of the New York and New Jersey delegations. The House will vote Friday to direct needed resources to the National Flood Insurance Program. And on January 15th, the first full legislative day of the 113th Congress, the House will consider the remaining supplemental request for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.”
