Before I begin, now that we have returned from the August break, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. I know the thoughts of everyone in this Chamber are with the thousands of Americans who are waiting to return home and restart their lives. I hope the Senate will act quickly to allow them to do so. I would also say that we know there is a lot of concern in the Presiding Officer's State about what is yet to come, so we need to get about our business. ____________________
