Mr. TUBERVILLE. Mr. President, I would like to add on to what the
other Senators have said. We want to give our blessings and prayers to
the people in the southern part of the country after all the tornadoes.
I grew up in Arkansas and now live in Alabama, and there hasn't been
a year gone by that we didn't have devastated communities, towns,
cities across the South. It seems like it is an every-year occurrence.
There has been many people lost, many people injured.
The TV trucks and newspeople will leave in the next couple of days,
leaving the destruction behind for the people of these cities and towns
to rebuild, and it is a tough time. It is going to be a tough time all
around, not just for a few days but for years. And our prayers go out
to them and all the families that have to go through one of the
toughest times of their life.
