ms. johnson, ranking member. i rise in support today of h.r. 1786, the national wind storm impact reduction program. this is an important piece of legislation because what we know is that tornadoes and tornadic type winds have caused huge amounts of -- amounts of destruction and loss of life in our country. last year alone there were 1,300 recorded tornadoes in our country, causing over 70 deaths and 1,500 injuries. these storms not only cost live bus they also damage property archast year alone, or the s about $400 million a year, except in 2011 when we saw a bad year and the damage was over $28 billion. natural t just a disaster. i had an opportunity firsthand to find out exactly how devastating these tornadoes can be because in my hometown of lubbock, texas, a tornado ripped through our community and killed 26 of our citizens. it was an area, fortunately i was not injured, but it's an area i lived in at the time and i had the opportunity to see firsthand the tremendous amount of devastation that can happen fro

ms. shaffer for that comment as well. senator johnson and i agree on much more than people may think when it comes to these topics. we obviously disagree on right now the score card between the east and the west. i will just close with this comment. you know, there's some irony to put putin's actions. we both agree that there's short term calculus. russia made the name by playing. i think it's important for us to remember that the long game is creating a real contrast between what it means to align yourself with the west and free market economics and liberal democrat oe cra democracy. this is a symmetrical warfare. they are willing to use tactics that we simply aren't willing to use. it may mean that we lose a few battles but it ultimately probably means that we now are the ones that hopefully will be able to win in the long game. thank you very much for being here. with that our hearing is adjourned. the record will remain open until friday at 5:00 if we have another questions from committee members. we hope that you will turn answers a
