If that's what he's referring to, passed House and Senate without amendment, just a straight up $9 billion FEMA increase to help those effected by Sandy. Cruze and Cornyn were both against it. A few other GOP lawmakers were against it, but as I understand it, they were more upset because they wanted to tack on tax breaks or spending cuts and that was nixed by leadership.
