On the recordDecember 28, 2012
I am delighted to partner with Senator Blunt and Senator Stabenow on this important amendment which addresses the disasters that occurred this last summer in terms of a century's worth of the worst fires and the worst drought. This is a true emergency in which our response has been delayed because programs are tied up in the farm bill. I ask that my colleagues address this real emergency. I yield the floor and reserve the remainder of my time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alabama.
