"We are going to find ourselves back in the same position we were before Hurricane Katrina struck, which is under-funding our preparedness for future disasters and not being ready when it happens."

"Well, the nine of us are going to push you very hard to do that."

"This subcommittee rallied in a bipartisan way because that program was zeroed out."
