"It has been really terrific testimony that you have provided."
"This should be the money that has not been spent yet, this is the main thing it should go to is, really, well-revamped appeals."
"Well, I think that is very important for people to really grasp the challenge here."
"I do not think there is a governor, other than Governor Barbour--because this was his experience, so I can personally understand how you believe this."
"So the Mississippi money came in one tranche. Two tranches? What was your first?"
"I am familiar with that arbitrary cap placed on allocations to States by Congress."
"I will continue to have as many hearings as it takes until we get this correct."
"Those funds need to continue to be targeted at those individuals."
"And I would second that and really ask HUD to listen carefully to the Texas situation."
"And how much money did the State get in the first tranche? Mississippi got its $5.5 billion and how much did Louisiana got?"
"You are testifying that we do not yet have such an equitable way."
