“On this subject, the gentleman from Alabama and the gentlewoman from Connecticut and I have spoken about the fires we have had in south Georgia and the fires we have had in north Florida and Mr. Boyd's district to the tune of 580,000 acres. We have talked during the committee discussions about the possibility of obtaining some emergency conservation reserve program money for the private landowners who lost approximately $45 million, and then also the State fire departments and the municipalities that spent about $45 million fighting these fires. And I wanted to ask the gentlewoman if we were still on one accord working on our drought/fire situation as we have discussed with Mr. Cramer earlier.”
