Mr. President. I would like to associate myself with the remarks of Senator COCHRAN. Although the goal is laudable to provide assistance and food to Kurdish refugees. and I want to say that I am sympathic to their plight. we have needs here at home. needs in California. California was devasted by a sev -e freeze last December. That freeze sulted in over $1 billion worth of agricultural crop damage. That. in turn. resulted in the unemployment of thousands of California farmworkers. And today. months later. these unemployed farmworkers are having a tough time feeding their families. And until the President took recent actionfor which I sincerely thank him in providing rent and mortgage assistance. they were destitute.
