On the recordJune 12, 1997
I think that is the spirit of America. We went there and we saw what was happening. And actually, as a result of that visit, there are special provisions in this disaster relief bill that, as far as I know, have never been done; and I think that is good. But in many respects, I was thinking about this earlier today, and this has been perhaps the most frustrating 2 or 3 weeks that I have had since I have been in this Congress. In the Tale of Two Cities, they talk about the best of times and the worst of times, and in many respects, this bill and the way it was put together represents the best and worst of this city. Because I think we all want to help our neighbor, but it is so frustrating when you take three ideas, which I think enjoy overwhelming support, the idea of helping our neighbors when they need the help, I think everyone agrees with that.
