GOP torn on Obama’s Ebola funding request

By Rebecca Shabad - 11/13/14 12:48 PM EST

Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) late Wednesday suggested Congress might supply funding to combat Ebola, but below President Obama’s new $6.2 billion request.

On Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Boozman said lawmakers are still looking over the comprehensive request.

“We’ll take the president’s request, the administration’s, and then sift through it. We will be supplying funding, you know, for this, but not, I don’t think, at that level,” said Boozman, who serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

That panel held a hearing Wednesday on Ebola in which Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell and other administration officials asked for Congress’s cooperation.
