                            DISASTER RELIEF

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, Iowa continues to flood and in some 
cases reflood. Since March, Iowa has been inundated with water on both 
the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and their tributaries. In the past 
several weeks, there have been multiple tornadoes causing havoc as 
well.
  I am pleased that Congress passed a supplemental bill that will 
provide some additional funds for recovery. However, I know we have 
many challenges ahead of us, both for the people living in Iowa and 
those who represent Iowa. Also, it would not surprise me if, after the 
final tallies of the disaster that has been done through floods and 
other natural disasters, we will need additional appropriations before 
the end of the fiscal year.
  I look forward to continuing to work with individuals, communities, 
the State of Iowa, and the Federal Government to find ways to help Iowa 
recover and come back stronger than ever and, of course, that will help 
not only Iowa but other areas of the country that are likewise hit.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. CORNYN. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
