Many remarkable Americans have accomplished far less than Patrick did in his 35 years.

You can go to a disaster assistance center set up by FEMA, and they'll give you one-stop shopping.

So in a way, it's a good way to come home, and I should be here.

He will be sorely missed by all of us who were inspired by his relentless fight for change.

It might happen in New Jersey someday.

I think that Congress will move very quickly on this.

We ought to treat everybody the same.

I am deeply saddened by the untimely death of one of America's brightest young leaders, Patrick Lippert.

We're determined to do everything we can to minimize the damage and keep the farmers farming.

I ask Congress to consider expeditiously the enclosed requests for emergency FY 1993 supplemental appropriations.

I hope they'll come up with something that everyone can agree is fair and we can all live with.

I hereby determine that, notwithstanding the limitations of that section of law, it is in the national security interest of the United States to allow funds provided in the above-mentioned or any other Act to be made available to…

Let me emphasize there's probably another $1 billion in ongoing appropriations of the Congress which can be used to deal with the agricultural and other losses here.

We're trying to restore growth to the world economy, but to do it we've got to bring the American budget deficit down, too.

I want to commend the work that has been done at the local level and by the Federal agencies here.

The spirit of the people seemed pretty undaunted.

It is.

I ask further that the legislation in which these funds are provided be kept free of extraneous matters in order that there may be a minimum of delay in providing necessary funds to the disaster areas.
