“it will only take 90 seconds to thank Senator Lott for his leadership and the two managers, Senator Grassley and Senator Baucus, who have literally worked tirelessly on this piece of legislation to help the people along the gulf coast. This is part of a relief package that will help us to help ourselves, get our people back home, our businesses back to work, and the gulf coast on its feet, so we can continue to support the needs of this Nation through energy and commerce and trade. I thank Senator Lott particularly for the extra effort he has put into this bill. I thank the leadership for passing it this morning. ____________________”
