                        HURRICANE MARIA RECOVERY

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto 
Rico, and I am on the island today with FEMA Administrator Brock Long, 
Governor Ricardo Rossello, Resident Commissioner Jenniffer Gonzalez, 
and other officials to assess the damage and assistance that is needed 
to help residents and make the island whole. It is our responsibility 
to do everything we can to ensure our government responds to this 
hurricane the same as it would anywhere else in the country. We must 
stand with our brothers and sisters, and give Puerto Rico the resources 
it needs to rebuild and become stronger than ever before.
  (At the request of Mr. Schumer, the following statement was ordered 
to be printed in the Record.)
