“Mr. Thornberry makes absolutely clear that this is a situation we need to deal with. While there are tragedies that continue in the gulf states and much of the money being debated in this appropriations bill is going for a much-needed cause, the people in Texas that have been affected by these fires are not getting the attention that others are getting and have been getting now for many, many months. This has been going on for so many days and weeks with no end in sight. I want to assure Mr. Thornberry this is only the beginning in this process. While he is one of the great leaders in this effort to try to provide some relief for many of our producers that have been affected, the entire delegation from our State is working hard on this. I commit to the gentleman that we will work diligently to try to remedy this and to provide some assistance for these producers that have been affected.”
