i would rather see those fema employees help us recover. so i'll say it again, i'm disappointed that this takes an act of congress. this is common sense and seeing this type of innovation and utilization of technology happen all across the marketplace. but unfortunately, congress has to intervene here, albeit in a bipartisan way, to make sure that americans are getting the service that they deserve and to make sure that our taxpayer dollars are being used in an efficient way. i want to thank the subcommittee chairman, mr. barr leta, the ranking member member, mr. johnson, and i want to thank the lead co-sponsors, mr. sires of new jersey that i know has gone through extraordinary challenges in new jersey with the 2012 hurricane sandy impacts on his state. and with that, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania reserves. the gentleman from jea. -- georgia. mr. johnson: i would inquire as to whether there are any other speakers on this side. mr. barletta: we do not. mr. johnson: i yield the balance of my time. the

president, fema's americas as we all know -- mr. president, fema's mission, as we all know, is to lead america to prepare for, prevent, and recover from disaster. that's why fema exists. the flood program is an extension of that mission. that's why, mr. president, when consultants who work for fema -- i'm talking about contractors, i'm talking about engineers, i'm talking about lawyers -- consultants who spend taxpayer money and are paid with taxpayer money working for fema, both contractors and subcontractors, if you wish to call them that, with the national flood insurance program's write your own program lose focus sometimes in helping flood victims. let me say that again. we spend millions of taxpayer dollars through the national flood insurance program paying consultants, contractors, lawyers, engineers to help administer the program and adjust claims. when it works, mr. president, it is a beautiful thing. when it doesn't work, it's an unmitigated disaster and is unfair to every taxpayer who put up his or her hard-earned money

fema then tries to recover project funds years later. under this bill introduced by congresswoman frankel, fema may still attempt to recover funds but must do so within three years after the project is completed. i commend representative frankel for her commitment to address this issue. she has worked tirelessly to bring this matter to the forefront and i urge my colleagues to support the measure. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. mr. barletta. mr. barletta: i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. mr. johnson: at this time, mr. speaker, i will yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back his time. mr. barletta. mr. barletta: i again urge my colleagues to vote yes on h.r. 1678 as amended. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 167

there are very type fema type people in the states and many cities have them. i wouldn't say that these funds are not very helpful for those states and localities, but i would offer that it isn't as grim as you describe in terms of taking them away. what i mean is, if we take away this money, which does -- the budget does some of that, their efforts against terrorism and against other aspects of, you know, disasters won't immediately collapse. so my offer would be that we were looking for money and we evaluated a number of different places, obviously, and we took where we thought we could take from, but, again, i'm absolutely confident that the men and women out there have risen to to case over the last 15 years since 9/11 and are very very good at what they do. >> thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask the question, mr. chairman. but i'm really surprised, mr. secretary, with great respect at your response. there's no question, for example, in new york city these people are capable and they're carrying out all of their activities with distinction. but i

and the life of the first fema female president in africa history. >> and nebraska senator will argue that america's youth are not prepared for adulthood. and former saturday night cast member and senator al franken will discuss. and nbc chris hayes will look at racial inequality in the united states. >> this era of what we know starts at the moment of-- or the peak of the level rights movement in the chronically bound sense that we think of it and it starts at the moment when, you know, jim crowe legislation is being dismantled. huge up in the northern cities and the fight comes to northern cities where essentially the fight is lost. i mean, you get the fair housing act, in some ways it's a high water mark, but then you have the busing fights and you get what you get. you get essentially a society that gives up on the project of desegregation as a social. and there are dozens of court decisions that whittle away from it, parent involve almost makes it impossible to create a desegregation theme voluntarily through a school district, through the abandonment of fair housing legislation,

>> as you know, fema runs the national flood insurance program.hey don't run it, they are in charge of it. they hire private companies to operate it. private insurance companies hire contractors to help. most of the consultants do a good job. some of them try to screw people. there has been evidence introduced in federal court where engineers have changed reports and lawyers are dilat y dilatory. the head of the flood insurance program for fema testified in front of the banking committee. i asked him. these bad actors, why don't you fire them? i know they are minority. he said i don't have the authority. unless they are criminally convicted. that's what my bill does. my bill says the fema director of the flood insurance program can pick up the phone and if there is a bad actor working for an insurance company with a contract with the flood insurance program and the director thinks they are committing a bad behavior or fraud, he can say you're fired. they have a right to appeal. if people buy flood insurance and they flood, they should get their mo

fema has got the lead on this. working with the state and locals. working the national guard. getting ready for the hurricane season that of course starts the first of june. we are ready to go. brian: tips apply for pretsa fantastic. steve: we have all got that. brian: prepare for security. follow the liquid rule and follow tsa. do your part. on memorial day we do want to talk about somebody. i know you think about those who lost their lives in the line of battle. for you, the highest ranking officer to lose a son in this generation in the line of battle. what are you thinking about and your family thinking about this memorial day? >> the first thing i would say is we don't need memorial day. if you are a gold star family member, you think about him or her every single day. in fact, hundreds of times a day. but what memorial day in my mind is good for is to remember for america to remember the million men and women over our history, the million men and women who have given their life for this country in combat. so on memorial day, even if you're at the beach or taking advantag

secretary, i was dispin disappointed by the proposed cuts for the fema preparedness grand programs. the program which helps most at risk urban areas such as new york prevent and prepare for terrorist attacks will be cut by 26%. and the state homeland security grant program would be slashed by more than 25%. overall, the fy-18 budget proposes a cut of $919 million to fema grant programs that really help law enforcement prevent and respond to terrorism and other disasters. to put that in perspective, you would cut vital funds to protect the top terror organizations by 31%. that is roughly half of what you're proposing to build a wall on the mexican boreder that is not needed. state and local jurisdictions just cannot effectively plan for, establish, and maintain the preparedness programs when support from their federal partner is consisteinconsistent subject to major deviations. mr. secretary, can you please share with us the impetus for proposing such drastic cuts to the grant programs? is it based on any sort of analysis that our states, major urban areas and other jurisdictions are

with what they allow -- allowed to work with, i don't know what it takes to get across to people that fema can only react when there are a certain number of people that have lost their homes. please know this. when one person loses their home to a natural disaster, it is just as important as if 1,000 or 100,000 lost their homes and this congress needs to be able to respond to that one the same way we do to 1,000. furthermore, i was glad to see that the bill includes year-round pell grants to provide one million students in this country with an additional average award of $1,650 and permanently extends health insurance benefits for retired mine workers. i might add that that has been and will continue to be a bipartisan effort to provide for the health of those mine workers and hopefully in spite of all the talk coming out of the white house, we may one day find a way to help them transition to good jobs, those that have lost their jobs because of industrial changes. but what's included in this bill is as important as what is not. in his first major budget negotiations, donald trump made ma

and one of the things that we've seen in rhode island at least is that fema mapping for flood risk is badly erroneous. and so one of the things that i'll be pressing you all on and i hope my coastal colleagues will be able to do so in full bipartisan fashion is that as we're investing in coastal infrastructure, we need to make sure that we're investing in the planning and data so that we know to what conditions these things must be built. en that is often beyond the capability of the local community and to the extent that fema mapping is as erroneous in other places as it has proven to be in rhode island, then actually a lot of people are being misled about what the conditions are going to be. so just, if you could just, like, put an asterisk next to my comments and the take away being remember this coastal problem and trying to make sure that pal helps get the planning right so that the infrastructure is built efficiently and the way it needs to be and in a way that defends from the encroachment of seas and bays whose waters are measurably rising. >> thank you very much. i'm not awar
