“Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentleman. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr Speaker, we have already heard from the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Graves), who is a member of the committee, who is going to oppose the bill because of provisions regarding private flood insurance. He thinks it will cause Federal flood insurance to collapse. And the two Senators from Louisiana who they are attempting to jam with this bill are saying they are going to oppose the bill and block it in the Senate. So we may end up with no continuing authorization for the FAA because they wanted to put these flood insurance provisions and other riders on this bill instead of passing them as separate legislation. {time} 1800”
