Didn't specify on what, but I would remind that gentleman that $120 billion has gone to Louisiana over the last 20 years dealing with the tragedies Katrina Orleans and the like, and that's not the total count. It would be unconscionable for this House to place any condition on the necessary assistance that Americans should give to our American people in Los Angeles.

I would ask us to search our conscience, and for the elected leader of this House to do so also, and put aside those requirements. I yield back.

Thank you. Madam Speaker, there's a great tragedy occurring in California as we speak. Members of the California delegation have spoken on the floor about the extraordinary damage, the loss of life, and the lives that have been disrupted. I was shocked to watch on television the elected leader of this House, suggesting that federal assistance to deal with that tragedy would be conditioned.
