"This budget was put together before, Mr. Secretary, as you know our new bill had passed."

"I appreciate that because if people cannot afford to be in the program, then you will not have a program, and the debt will increase, and the program will collapse."

"I continue to advocate for smart mitigation programs that save taxpayers $4 for every dollar spent for actions like elevating a home or office building."

"I believe starting this year, Senator Coats, that we are prepared for whatever disasters may come our way."
