Funding Push for Ebola and Global Crises

The White House is urgently asking Congress for $87.6 billion to tackle two major crises: Iran-related security needs and the deadly Ebola outbreak in Africa. Included is $1.6 billion to fast-track Ebola medicines, $3 million for Middle East tech to aid Syria and neighboring countries, and $50 million in global funding to combat the virus—with a facility slated for 2016. Plus, $2 million is requested to support U.S. farmers. Officials stress this funding is vital to save lives and stay ahead of unfolding emergencies.
