G.O.P. Split Over Big Plans for Storm Spending By CARL HULSE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 - The drive to pour tens of billions of federal dollars
into rebuilding the hurricane-battered Gulf Coast is widening a fissure among
Republicans over fiscal policy, with more of them expressing worry about
unbridled spending.On Thursday, even before President Bush promised that
"federal funds will cover the great majority of the costs of repairing public
infrastructure in the disaster zone," fiscal conservatives from the House and
Senate joined budget watchdog groups in demanding that the administration be
judicious in asking for taxpayer dollars.
One fiscal conservative, Senator
Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma,
said Thursday, "I don't believe that everything that should happen in Louisiana
should be paid for by the rest of the country. I believe there are certain
responsibilities that are due the people of Louisiana."
Senator Jim DeMint,
Republican of South
Carolina, called for restoring "sanity" to the federal recovery effort.
Congress has approved $62 billion, mostly to cover costs already incurred, and
the price tag is rising. The House and Senate approved tax relief Thursday at an
estimated cost of more than $5 billion on top of $3.5 billion in housing
vouchers approved by the Senate on Wednesday.
"We know we need to help, but
throwing more and more money without accountability at this is not going to
solve the problem," Mr. DeMint said..............
