Sheila Jackson Lee said "First of all, let me thank the chairman of the committee for what has been ongoing support of our efforts. And I hope he sees that these are efforts for across the Nation as well. To be clear, I am glad that we do not alter the account but we redirect and focus moneys on this important investigatory area. I thank him for his support. I would be happy to yield to the ranking member, who, likewise, has helped me over the years to address this question of flooding. But I want to make the point that what we saw in the last hurricane season is that it reaches across the Gulf region, including the U.S. Virgin Islands and, of course, Puerto Rico. I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), the distinguished ranking member." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
