On the recordDecember 27, 2012
Mr. President, I would like to thank very much Senator Blunt and Senator Stabenow, who have worked so hard to bring together a common vision in how we can address the terrible disasters of drought and wildfires that ravaged many parts of the country this last summer. Now, we are no longer in the summer, so we are months late but better now than to wait a single additional day. With that, I yield to Senator Stabenow from Michigan and thank her so much for working so hard and well on this. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Michigan.
