So to me, that is a breakdown in internal communication.

You have people that are in severe need and they need it very quickly, but at the same time you want to make sure there is not fraud and people trying to abuse the system.

I think it is critical that FEMA maintain and expand their fraud awareness programs.

So, that is going on now?

I think it probably was the case there when James Lee Witt was there, and then it went through kind of a period in the wilderness.

FEMA actually has now turned this over to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for collection.

FEMA has wrongly paid out money to some people that have suffered damages and floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, et cetera.

My goal is to review the organization and leadership of FEMA components, their emphasis on front-end accountability processes.

So I am not trying to justify for Hurricane Katrina, but it was almost like the mind set may have been that if you get 10 people that are asking for a need and 9 of them need it, let's get it to the 9.

I think it is a combination that initially people were trying to get a lot of aid out to the survivors.

Is that a fair characterization?
