"I do not think the Federal Government can do it all, but I do think the Federal Government can be a big supporter in this effort."

"I believe that the sooner we pass the $6.4 billion supplemental, which provides absolutely essential mitigation, help for small businesses, homeowners, and most importantly, flexible community develop..."

"If the people do not have confidence that at least their local leaders have been given access to serious money, and $60 billion is a serious amount of money, they will lose hope."

"I hope these will come in handy this time around."
