>      As Hurricane Harvey neared Texas Friday -- before it wreacked
>    havoc on the state's eastern shore and inland -- two of Texas'
>    top Washington lawmakers, U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn,
>    sent a letter to President Donald Trump asking for a major
>    disaster declaration.  "Given the potential catastrophic
>    impact that the Hurricane may have on Texas communities, we
>    strongly support this request (from Texas Gov.  Greg Abbott)
>    and urge you to provide any and all emergency protective
>    measures available," the senators wrote.  Such emergency
>    measures include federal funding to help with the rescue
>    efforts and clean up. The exact same kind of crucial emergency
>    relief package for New Jersey and New York following Hurricane
>    Sandy both men voted against in 2012.
