“The Senator has heard those cries for help and has, along with the committee, responded in our time of need, for which all of New York is grateful. It goes beyond that.

We know that what the Senator has very thoughtfully provided in this appropriations bill will put us on the path toward recovery, will put money into the pipeline. As the Senator knows better than anyone, it will be quite sometime into next year before another appropriation can possibly be obtained.”
