Mr. Speaker. in recent months our country has been at its best in meeting its moral obligations overseas. We have done the right thing in helping Kurdish refugees. We have come to the rescue of cyclone victims in Bangladesh. We have helped the Philippines dig out from volcanic eruptions. Unfortunately. there are hundreds of thousands of American victims who are wondering when help will come their way. too. They are hoping to attract President Bushs attention to problems here at home--not just in foreign lands. In December in my district in central California. a deep freeze struck. It destroyed crops and put farmers and farm workers out of jobs.
