Mark Neumann: “Just to make the record 100 percent clear, if this amendment is passed, there is still $700 million of unexpended FEMA…”

On the recordMay 15, 1997
Just to make the record 100 percent clear, if this amendment is passed, there is still $700 million of unexpended FEMA money in here. So the gap that the gentleman is talking about and, by the way, I very much respect the chairman of our subcommittee, but the gap he is talking about is more than covered by the $700 million of unobligated and unallocated funds that are still in here. So make no mistake, this does not wipe out all the money like it should. It only wipes out $1.7 billion of it, leaving $700 million still available to cover what the gentleman is referring to.
