“I want to thank the chairman here, the ranking member, and so many others who have worked so hard on this legislation, which, I might add, could not be more timely for the State of North Carolina. I want to thank our leadership team in the House and so many who have worked with me and the North Carolina delegation to include the disaster relief funding specific to Hurricane Florence. This is a critical first step of additional support from this body and Congress as a whole, and I also want to commend my colleagues Senator Burr and Senator Tillis on the other side of the Capitol for all their great work to get us to this point today as well. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Velazquez), ranking member on the Small Business Committee.”
