William H. Frist: “I want to take this final opportunity to thank our colleagues for…”

On the recordSeptember 1, 2005

I want to take this final opportunity to thank our colleagues for their assistance in getting this emergency funding considered so quickly. We will be returning to business on Tuesday, and we will be monitoring the situation in all of the affected States as we mentioned tonight--really a much larger region in fact, the whole country--over the next several days. Our hearts, as has been spelled out and articulated so well by my colleagues, and especially our prayers, go out to the people of those States as we pull together and capture the best of what America represents; that is, the support of, in times of crisis, each other as a nation in order to get through these unanticipated, unprecedented challenges for us. ____________________
