“again, this is important in that this bill we will be voting on after the judge votes, H.R. 5005, provides $2 billion to replenish FEMA's disaster relief account. Included in there, which is very important, as Melanie Sabelhaus said, we are making promises of loans to folks, and we have run out of funds. So it is important we all work as quickly as possible to make sure these funds are there because there is an allocation in here of up to $30 million which may be transferred to the Small Business Administration's efforts to carry out disaster loans authorized by section 7(b) of the Small Business Act. The point is, we have a lot of people hurting in this country, in Florida, and obviously I am talking about Virginia. It is important we all come together quickly, efficiently, and as expeditiously as possible to assist these individuals who have a lot of pain, a lot of work to do, but also a great deal of spirit.”
