Authorizing that the Senate office of Senator John D. Rockefeller IV be 
 used to collect donations of clothing from July 13, 2001, until July 
 20, 2001, from concerned Members of Congress and staff to assist the 
 West Virginia families suffering from the recent disaster of flooding 
                              and storms.

Whereas southern West Virginia has been devastated by recent flash flooding;
Whereas 2 West Virginians tragically lost their lives in the recent flooding;
Whereas thousands of West Virginians have been left homeless, and many more have 
        severe damage to their homes and personal property, and many do not have 
        safe drinking water or electric power because of the flooding; and
Whereas on July 5, 2001, President Bush amended the Federal Disaster Declaration 
        to cover 18 West Virginia counties, including Boone, Cabell, Calhoun, 
        Clay, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan, Mason, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Preston, 
        Putnam, Raleigh, Roane, Summers, Wayne, and Wyoming: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the Senate office of Senator John D. Rockefeller IV 
is authorized to collect donations of clothing from July 13, 2001, 
until July 20, 2001, from concerned Members and staff to assist the 
West Virginia families suffering from the recent disaster of flooding 
and storms.
