On the recordOctober 6, 1997
Dr. Karl, do you want to say anything? [Thomas Karl, senior scientist, National Climatic Data Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, mentioned statistics showing record precipitation in six States in 1996. The Vice President commented on budget increases related to flooding and other disasters, and then asked about the predicted heat index for Washington, DC, in the next century.] Dr. Karl. I think it's up to 105 or 110. I don't know the exact numbers, but---- Dr. Liverman. It's under 100 now, and it's going to go to about 105 on average, they think, during the summer months. The Vice President. Well, we'll get some more on that. [Laughter]
