On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
I again would like to express my appreciation to the Senators from Iowa and Missouri for their help to crafting this amendment and their cosponsorship. We are in agreement that the critical task of disaster hazard mitigation is long overdue and critical if we are ever to reduce the mounting cost of responding to these natural disasters. We are in agreement that property acquired for flood mitigation should be permanently reserved from disaster damage prone development. I urge adoption of the amendment.
