Republican-led House Panel Expected to Release Zika Funding Plan

Both the House and Senate are moving ahead on different plans to fund the Zika fight.

FOX’s Jared Halpern has more from Capitol Hill:

It won’t be near the $2 billion Zika funding request made by the White House, but a Republican-led House panel is expected to unveil a Zika funding plan next week:

(Rogers) “We’ve been able to finally get what we think are adequate numbers for what the need is.”

Appropriations Committee chairman Hal Rogers says the funding is only for this fiscal year, ending September 30, any money beyond that would need to be covered afterwards.

A separate Senate agreement is also expected to get a vote next week, that package worth more than one $1 billion in Zika funding.
