Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y, left, and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., leave a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, Jan. 4, 2013, where they discussed Superstorm Sandy aid. The first large aid package for victims of the deadly Superstorm Sandy started moving through the U.S. Congress on Friday, as the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved $9.7 billion to pay flood insurance claims. A Senate vote was expected later in the day. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
