House Speaker Paul Ryan Friday said Congress would quickly take up a spending bill to replenish a federal disaster relief fund that is fast being depleted by Hurricane Harvey.

“What we are going to have to do is fund some installments on this because we won’t fully know what all is needed for some time,” Ryan, R-Wis., told Wisconsin’s WCLO radio. “But what we do know is that the cash drain is fast, so we are going to have to do some quick response.”
