Again, I thank Mr. Pallone for his diligence in solving this problem not only for his constituents there in New Jersey after Superstorm Sandy, but many of my family were down in south Mississippi and we know what happened in Katrina with those in the Gulf region around New Orleans and over in south Mississippi and the loss of communications that were there. This week we are seeing it in Mr. Carter's district in Georgia, again, the impact that a storm has when people cannot reach their loved ones and when they cannot get in contact to let people know the services that they needed or the injury that they are experiencing. So we are fortunate to be able to bring this bill forward. We extend our condolences and concerns to Mr. Carter for what is going on in his district. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter) to speak on the bill.
