Republicans screaming "Ebola" - While One Of Their Own Withholds Funds To Combat The Disease
House approves $750M in Ebola funding held up in Senate panelJames Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has withheld approval of the funds in his chamber, saying that it would add demands on a defense budget already stretched thin.
A spokeswoman for Inhofe said Thursday that there is no change in his decision after approval from the other committees.
Staff members of the Senate panel are hoping Inhofe will change his mind.
"We understand that the administration has provided information to answer some questions that Sen. Inhofe had, and that they are hoping he will sign off soon so that they can go forward," said a member of the Senate Armed Service Committee staff.
