I want to speak first very briefly on the amendment offered by the Senator from Missouri that would help the disaster areas of the Northeast. First I want to commend the Senator from Missouri for helping the areas of the Northeast that were so punished by the recent problems with respect to the ice storms. Vermont suffered very significantly in the upper part of the State, but with the knowledge that we have with respect to what happened in New York and Maine which so far outpaced our problems, I can certainly commiserate with their need to have assistance, especially with respect to utilities, which have been greatly harmed by the weather problem.
