mr. kelly. mr. birnbaum made a statement a minute ago that caught my attention that surplus lines don't belong to the guaranty association of states. did i understand that statement correctly mr. birnbaum. did you make that statement? okay. that's a very key point from the standpoint that surplus lines are where you look to to be able to provide flood insurance. is that the case, mr. kelly? >> it is the case. surplus lines insurers do not -- they're not backed by guarantee funds. but the's good reason for that. i mean, if you look at the type of coverages written in the surplus lines market they're often not coverages that would fall under the general limits of the guarantee funds that exist for the standard market. you've also got the ams report that shows an incredible solvency record for the surplus lines market. eleven years of no financial impairments compared to i think 207 impairments in the standard market over that same time period. look at the ratings of surplus lines carriers. they're all

mr. kelly. surplices don't belong to guarantee associations of states, i understand it correctly? did you make that statement? >> that is a very key point from the standpoint, surplus lines are where you look to be able to provide flood insurance. is that the case? >> it is the case. surplus line insurers do not -- they're not backed by guaranteed funds but there is good reason for that. if you look at the types of coverage written in the surplus lines markets there are often not coverages that would fall into the general limits of the guaranteed funds that exist for the standard market? you have also got in the report the shows an incredible solvency record for the surplus lines market, and 11 years of no financial impairment compared to 207 impairment in the standard market over the same time period. look at the ratings surplus carriers, they are all in the excellent to good category compared to ratings in the standard site that are not quite as good. we tend to believe coverage is typically

mr. kelly. recognized for five minutes good morning. my name is brady kelly. i'm based in kansas city missouri. thank you for inviting me here today to testify on 2901. it's a $42 billion market and underwrite a very high proportion of that. our market often referred to as the nonadmitted market exists to provide insurance coverage to non-standard and complex risks and provide cover for risks. it's the state's approach to regulating that market that allows it to work as this supplement. it's part and parcel to its effective operation and regulation. consider for example the impact of sats trofcatastrophic lossese certain lines of business. exhibit one tries to illustrate that. market responses by measuring the rates at which surplus lines premium shifted up and down overtime in relation to total u.s. property casualty premium. you see the north ridge earthquake, 911, hurricanes in 2005. they're all followed by clear spikes in surplus line premium. spikes that exceed the growth of the overall pro

. >> mr. kelly, do you agree? do you think we would have consumers who actually would pay the full risk rate in substantial numbers enough to make it work? >> i don't agree we need to get rid of the nfip entirely. but it needs to be reformed. i keep going back to the note making about the repeated losses. one percent of all nfip count for 30% of all claims paid. that 1% category of property, no one is attracted in insuring those properties. to think you could come up with a sound rate that covers the risk of that property, i cannot imagine a consumer having the ability to afford that. so we believe there is the need for the nfip to service some level of back stop but focus on that category of risk. >> so a hybrid? >> maybe. i think 2901 is going to shift as much business as possible to the private industry. but let's face it. private industry is going to have trouble insuring that one percent category without a reasonable rate. if you focus on that one percent category, maybe focus on the mission of mitigating flo

mr. kelly: i thank the gentleman. really, it comes down to this. we're at a crossroads in this country. we have to present really bold visions of where we think the country should be going. we need to talk about policies that are going make america stronger. we need to talk about policies that put americans back to work. s need to talk about policy that the american people can look at and say, you know what, there is a clear difference, there is a new day coming for america, there is a new way to run the government, there is a new way to look at regulations and understand that these aren't helping. they're hurting. i just ask all of my colleagues to very strongly support h.r. 1644. do the right thing for america. forget about whether you wear a red shirt or blue shirt. think about the red, white and blue that we stand for every day. i thank the gentleman and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from colorado reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. lowenthal: yeah, i would just like to respond t

mr. kellyou are recognized for five minutes. >> good morning, chairman leutkemeyer, and the ranking member and subcommittee. i am based out of kansas city, missouri and thank you for inviting me to testify. this is a 40.2 billion market and we underwrite a high amount of that. our market exist to provide insurance coverage for nonstandard and complex risks and risks for what the market is not willing to underwrite. the freedom is what allows this to work. this principle is partial to the effective operation. considering the impact of losses causing certain countries of the business to withdraw. market responses to cat events is measured by the rate surplus premiums shifted up or down in relation to property premiums. you see these events followed by spikes in surplus lines premiums. spikes that exceed the growth of the overall market. and the reverse is true in the years following where the market is lower as the standard market adjust. without this safety net, consumers can be left without cov

mr. kelly: i thank the gentleman. i too would like to add my thanks for the passion and the commitment you've made to the right to life movement. and the protection of the unborn. both you and with your wife, not just -- both you and your wife, not just here in the united states, but around the world. and i've seen that happen. we're here tonight. it's hard to stand in america's house and think that we have to debate an issue that is so basic to who we are, not as republicans or democrats, but as human beings. the district that i represent, the biggest county is erie county. in eire county there are 278,443 people. human beings. in 2014, abortions performed by planned parenthood ended the tential lives of 324,000 human beings. it is stunning that in america's house, and in the united states of america, what -- we recoil at any action around the world where there is loss of life, and specialy -- especially when it happens violently and at hasn'ts of people who have absolutely no regard for human life. we still shoulder

there is, mr. kelly, a gut-level fear that so many gun owners have that the government wants to register their guns and eventually take them away. you asked the president about that and here's what he said. take a listen. >> as you know, gabby and i are 100% behind the concept of somebody getting a background check before getting a gun. but when we testified in front of the senate judiciary committee we heard from the gun lobby and senators that expanding background checks will lead to a registry which will lead to condition fi skags, which will lead the aity ran call government. so i'd like you to explain, with 350 million guns in 65 million to alaska, 350 million objects - in 65 million places, if the federal government wanted to confiscate those objects, how would they do that? >> this notion of a conspiracy out there and it gets wrapped up in concerns about the federal government. now, there's a long history of that. that's in our dna. you know, the united states was born suspicious of some distant a
