On the recordMarch 24, 1998
I would be happy to agree to the amount necessary to cover disaster assistance under the Emergency Watershed and Flood Prevention Program for Georgia in the wake of its recent flooding and tornado damage. In response to the second question, it is my understanding currently that the agricultural disaster needs of Georgia will be sufficiently addressed with a total supplemental appropriation of $100 million in the Emergency Watershed and Flood Prevention account and $60 million in the Emergency Conservation Program. So, yes, Georgia's needs will be accommodated, and the Senator's work on behalf of his state is appreciated.
