The initial down payment would replenish Federal Emergency Management Agency funds used in the immediate aftermath of the massive storm that flooded parts of Houston with more than 50 inches of rain, said the aide, speaking on condition of anonymity. The House and Senate are set to return to Washington Sept. 5.
