First of all, I yield myself 15 seconds just to set the record straight. With regard to the legislation before us, which is a flood insurance program, the aid under this program is going and has been going to the recipients in the affected area because there was funding in this program before. What we're doing right now is to make sure that that aid will continue to go to those people who have contracts for insurance. With that, I now yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Gibson), who also is very familiar with the devastation that was caused to constituents.
