On the recordDecember 6, 2001
Absolutely. May I say that the two distinguished Senators from New York have not once, have not twice, have not thrice, but many times talked with me about the needs, the immediate needs, of the people of New York. They have talked to me about the suffering that the people of New York have had visited upon them by this beastly attack. They have continued to implore me, as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, to help them, to help the State of New York. The Governor of New York came down to see me also. He sat at the table in my office on the floor below and pleaded with me to provide help and succor and comfort in the form of dollars for New York City.
