Tomorrow, thousands of Hurricane Ike survivors across the gulf region may be stopped from receiving benefits that were due because of this terrible disaster. We have been working on this as the House and the Senate. The Senate passed the UC tonight to provide an extension for those benefits; however, we have not had an opportunity to do so, and many people are suffering. I hope that we will have that occasion again. I would like to yield to the distinguished majority leader to inquire about the needs of those Hurricane Ike victims across the whole gulf region, as we did for Katrina and Rita, the opportunity to work on this matter so that their benefits could be continued for the families that are in need.
