"Will the Administration and FEMA delay Biggert-Waters or at least major portions of Biggert-Waters for at least a year?"

"I am sure it comes as no surprise to him when I say the next Deputy Secretary will have some big shoes to fill."

"To me, that says it all. And we need people in our government that are willing to serve people directly, that understand the hearts of people, and I know Ali Mayorkas is that kind of person."
