                       Thursday, February 7, 2008

  Mr. BERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise here today to offer our thoughts and 
prayers to the victims of the recent tornados that have devastated many 
parts of Arkansas and the surrounding region. On behalf of the Congress 
I especially extend our sympathies to the families who have lost a 
loved one in this terrible tragedy.
  As we move to rebuild our State, I commend all those who have reached 
out to their neighbors to provide assistance in this time of need. As 
families and businesses begin the cleanup process, I am committed to 
helping these individuals get the resources they need to rebuild their 
lives and communities.
  Arkansans are great people who exemplify Southern hospitality and I 
have great faith our communities will persevere and prevail through 
this difficult time.
