     recent flash flooding;
       Whereas 2 West Virginians tragically lost their lives in 
     the recent flooding;
       Whereas thousands of West Virginians have been left 
     homeless, and many more have severe damage to their homes and 
     personal property, and many do not have safe drinking water 
     or electric power because of the flooding; and
       Whereas on July 5, 2001, President Bush amended the Federal 
     Disaster Declaration to cover 18 West Virginia counties, 
     including Boone, Cabell, Calhoun, Clay, Kanawha, Lincoln, 
     Logan, Mason, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Preston, Putnam, 
     Raleigh, Roane, Summers, Wayne, and Wyoming: Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved, That the Senate office of Senator John D. 
     Rockefeller IV is authorized to collect donations of clothing 
     from July 13, 2001, until July 20, 2001, from concerned 
     Members and staff to assist the West Virginia families 
     suffering from the recent disaster of flooding and storms.
