                         HURRICANE SANDY RELIEF

  (Mr. GIBSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GIBSON. Mr. Speaker, I want to add my voice to those who have 
spoken here tonight. We need to be there for all of those in need now 
after Hurricane Sandy.
  I come from upstate New York, and this is a bipartisan effort. I just 
want to thank all my colleagues here in this House who helped my 
district after Hurricanes Irene and Lee. We had heartbreaking and 
devastating losses all across the region, and this body came together 
to provide the requisite help so that we could begin that long road to 
recovery.
  And we need to be there for all of the American people who need help 
after storms. And now for Hurricane Sandy, we need to come together and 
ask the Speaker to reconsider to have this aid so that we can get this 
aid so that we can help this country get back up on track.
