The Senate plans a Jan. 28 vote to complete congressional action on a $60.2 billion aid package for Hurricane Sandy victims three months after the storm hit the U.S. Northeast, Majority Leader Harry Reid said.
The legislation, approved Jan. 15 by the Republican-controlled House, will be voted on along with one amendment, said Reid, a Nevada Democrat. The amendment would require a 60-vote supermajority to pass, increasing the likelihood the Senate will send the House measure to President Barack Obama unchanged.
