If I may respond, I wish to say the Senator from Florida presents a very good idea because we now know that to deal with catastrophes which are inevitable, we live in nature. We live in places where volcanoes can destroy an economy, earthquakes. We had the Katrina catastrophe in the Southern States. It is about time, would the Senator agree with me, that we looked at what it is that is creating the frequency and the ferocity of those storms. They are accelerated almost in geometric terms. This is a good reminder, hey, get off the stick and on the job. I commend the Senator from Florida for his splendid victory. We knew the Senator was coming home, we just wanted to make sure he had a nice reception.
