                           HURRICANE RECOVERY

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, let me say to the people of Florida, 
Georgia, and everyone else affected by Hurricane Michael that our 
thoughts and hearts are with you. Having worked and lived through the 
recovery of Hurricane Sandy in my home State of New York, I remember 
vividly the anguish of families who lost their homes and businesses the 
day or two after and then realizing it took years for areas of New York 
and Long Island to recover. We are still in the process of recovering. 
I know, A, your pain and suffering and, B, the challenges that await 
you.
  So we hope everyone stays safe as the storm passes through the 
country. We know that Americans and the Senate will pull together, as 
they always do, to help one another build and recover.
