                    PRAYERS OF TEXANS WITH ARKANSAS

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I appreciate being able to start the 
Senate this morning, because we had a very important anniversary 
yesterday in Texas that I want to talk about. But first, I want to say 
to my colleagues and friends from my neighboring State of Arkansas how 
sad we all are at the ravage that the State of Arkansas took yesterday 
from the weather, the storms and the floods. Lives were lost. I want 
Senators Bumpers and Hutchinson to know that the prayers of Texans are 
with them in this time of healing for their State. We know that 
everything that can be done for the victims of that flood will be done.
