Pelosi Statement on Deadly Tornadoes That Ravaged the South
Washington, D.C. -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the
following statement today after tornadoes tore through five Southern states
yesterday, causing widespread damage and killing more than 50 people:
"All Members of Congress join our nation in prayer for
those coping with the devastation caused by storms that moved across the South
last night. To the grieving families who
so tragically lost loved ones, I hope it is a comfort that so many people are
thinking of you at this sad time.
"As the President said today, our prayers must be joined with help from the government for the survivors. Congress stands ready to work in a bipartisan way to quickly meet the challenges of rebuilding the region.”
