I would like to thank the ranking member from West Virginia (Mrs. Capito) for her cooperation and the work that she has put into the formulation of this very, very important bill. I would like to thank Members on both sides of the aisle for the cooperation that we have seen exhibited on this bill, and I think that the Members on both sides of the aisle have done a fabulous job representing their constituencies on this issue. It is time for us to have a reauthorization for 5 years, given the lapses that we have had and the risks that we have placed homeowners at when we don't have flood insurance coverage. ... I'm proud of this legislation.
