I am going to really be pushing this subcommittee, the whole Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on Banking, and the Congress to get complete and accurate flood maps done before we engage in trying to rewrite a flood insurance…

this one-size-fits-all approach on this flood insurance is not going to work. We have to have a multi-plan.
We want to make sure that the rates that people are paying reflect the fact that they aren't living at the flood level.
