00:00Without objection, the gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for one minute.

00:06Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Many parts of Kentucky are just now recovering from a devastating flood

00:13that we saw a few weeks ago. I want to thank the first responders who were first on the scene,

00:19thank our utility crews who worked day and night to restore utilities, and I want to

00:26let the families who lost everything know that anything my office can do to be of any assistance,

00:34don't hesitate to reach out. We've had President Trump sign a declaration for individual assistance.

00:42FEMA should be on the ground working with families to try to help identify any type of assistance that

00:50the families in need can qualify for, and I want to encourage FEMA to continue to work with the

00:56local governments to ensure that the heavy burden of debris removal is reimbursed by the federal

01:05government, and that's something that my office will continue to ensure to see that happen. So

01:09we've had devastating floods. The government's responsibilities to help those in need,

01:14and that's what we expect to do. So, Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to make that point

01:19loud and clear and hope that we can continue to work through the recovery phase. I yield back.

01:24For what purpose,

01:27gratitude for Kerry?
