                          NEW HAMPSHIRE STORM

  (Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, today a terrible storm hit across the 
State of New Hampshire. There has been death and destruction in five 
counties, and we have declared a state of emergency there. I am asking 
for the prayers of this country for the people of New Hampshire. 
They're a strong lot. For ages they have helped one another build their 
homes, their barns, their stone walls, their businesses. I know that 
they will find the resources once again to help each other through this 
calamity.
  I ask the people of the country and the Congress to keep their 
thoughts and prayers on the people of New Hampshire tonight.
