I believe that if our subcommittee, and the Full Committee, and this House, is able to draft legislation, learning lessons from some of those disasters most recently I would just request that we go back, even further, at the Chair and the Full Committee's indulgence to look at what went well, and what didn't, with the response to Superstorm Sandy.

Congress is in charge of--and this is the problem we have is that the States have jumped the gun here.

We should be initiating this change if it is wanted, if it is desired.
