Denny Rehberg: “I rise on behalf of American farmers and ranchers to ask this Congress to support disaster relief assistance this year.…”

On the recordMay 14, 2002
I rise on behalf of American farmers and ranchers to ask this Congress to support disaster relief assistance this year. Montana's farmers and ranchers are entering their fifth, and some cases their sixth, straight year of devastating drought conditions. When floods ravage the Southwest or when hurricanes touch down along the coastal regions of the United States, this Congress has acted forcefully and rightly to offer immediate and substantial financial assistance to those families and businesses most in need. On behalf of producers of food in more than a dozen States suffering from the most severe disaster conditions in more than a generation, I ask this Congress to act with equal diligence to offer immediate assistance before it is finally too late.
