On the recordFebruary 10, 1994
I think with the storm and with other things going on, I hope that the conferees will be talking a lot all morning as the papers are prepared and will understand that there is a very real concern about getting this aid to California done tomorrow, because I think it gets very difficult for the House to function effectively on Saturday, just given the weather and given all the various Members who had previous plans. We do hope we can get it done. We look forward to working with the gentleman on a bipartisan way to pass the aid to California before we leave here. I think that is the right thing to do.
