I make one final point. The outpouring of support the people I represent have seen from across the country in response to the disaster that has hit us so brutally hard has been overwhelming. I think the American people truly had a right to expect that their governing body, the Congress of the United States, in a timely fashion would also commit the resources to help get our area back on its feet. I am going to ask the Members to resist the motion, to vote ``no'' on adjournment. We have no business leaving town with the disaster supplemental in a point of incomplete status. We have got to finish this up. The people we represent deserve no less.
