On the recordSeptember 29, 1999
Let me just thank the gentlewoman and commend the gentlewoman again for the tremendous advocacy that she displays consistently on the part of rural America, and especially as she crusades right now to try and find relief for that part of North Carolina and for all of those thousands and thousands of people who have been uprooted by recent Hurricane Floyd. Certainly, our hopes, our prayers, and our thoughts are with the gentlewoman and all of the people in North Carolina as they try to work their way out of this disaster.
