"As a Senator from Louisiana, I did not want Hurricane Katrina to hit."

"There has been story after story about the impacts one agency of this Department is having in particular: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)."

"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."

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