it was great fun and my friends were jimmy flynn, paddy o'connor. my siblings married the shenny's and i almost married a catherine finerin but it didn't work out. i have a nephew, sean patrick mcflynn. i always question myself because my writing about the irish is really my writing about myself coming to the united states and coming into contact with the united states so consequently my puerto rican friends, and some of my irish friends, although they were more circumspect, what are you doing writing about the irish? i'm writing about the united states. the irish are more interesting. they had to put up with colonialism, just as puerto rico is a colony of the united states. i also respect the fact that they have a facility with language, which i also enjoy. consequently, i wondered why this attraction to the irish. in 2004, the university of puerto rico asked me to come there and lecture and read. i immediately called my favorite cousin, and she said, what are you doing here? i told her and i said, please come to the reading, i have a book for you.

it's of great concern that up to three dozen flynn american prison converts traveled to yemen to train with al qaeda. we talked about j.i.s., richard reid, all examples of prison converts, plotting to commit acts of violence against innocent people. there are several ongoing cases whose stories yet to be told. the common issue is converting to radical islam within prison. if islam expressed itself in the california prison system as it expresses itself in the los angeles region we would be talking about the strength and value that it brings to prisoners in terms of behavior and value-based living. this is not the case because the manner in which they are pokes exposed to islam carrying danger and exploittation. instead of providing a peaceful perspective of one of the great and peaceful religions of the world we are left with a hijacked as prislam. this has been allowed to continue through the three dynamic conventions of people, materials and associations. as a matter of practice, the american correctional chaplains recommends one chaplain per 500 inmates, but we are seeing four, five,

and he was referring to femme mavment greg flynn, a spoarksman with the mississippi emergency management agency said of fugate, "fema is extraordinarily proactive for the states. by the time the storm is out of the way, they want to know what we need." madam president, this is very good testimony, because we worked hard. many of us -- you worked hard on this, i did, and others -- to make a stronger fema, a more proactive fema and i think this big measure we've accomplished that. but the biggest challenge right now is, unless the senate and the house and the president do something differently, we are not going to have the money we need to take care of these disasters. and so for people on the ground like david maxwell in arkansas and greg flynn in mississippi and whether it's paul rainwater, who is the c.e.o. of my state and still struggling in the aftermath of katrina and rita, which was six years ago, but a disaster that's still open, we literally are going to run out of money in the disaster emergency relief fund january of this year. so let me put up a chart to show the challenge that
