                            FLOOD INSURANCE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I am gratified that we were able to get 
enough votes on the flood insurance bill to get us this far. We have 
been trying to get to it for a long time. We are very close to a 
consent agreement to move forward on the bill with a few relevant 
amendments.
  We are going to move forward with the consent agreement or move 
forward with the bill. This bill is going to move forward this week. I 
hope we can work out something today to move forward. Once again, I 
commend Senators Menendez, Landrieu, and Isakson for their hard work.
