This is money, Mr. Speaker, that will go to help people who are hurting right now, and, believe me, there are a lot of people in Florida who are hurting. Even in my area in northeast Florida where we did not suffer any direct brunt of the hurricane, thousands of people are without electricity. Their homes have been damaged. And while State, local, and Federal officials did a great job of doing everything they could to prepare for this disaster, one can only do so much. So I urge my colleagues to support this so that we can once again get the money to the people that are hurting now and come back and help those at a later time. I urge the adoption of this bill.
