                     WE NOW MUST LIVE AND HELP LIVE

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. The old adage ``live and let live'' is not 
enough. We now must live and help live. We have persons who will be 
severely impacted by the fiscal cliff if we don't take action. FEMA may 
lose as much as $878 million, and this would affect persons who are 
victims of disasters. Persons who receive rental assistance may lose as 
much as $2.3 billion in help.
  It is not enough to live and allow others to live. We have to live 
and help others to have a better quality of life. Let's avert and avoid 
the fiscal disaster.
