walker and any thoughts on that? >> i can comment a little bit on that as think there's two cri m comaco components as well. the stafford act makes sense because you just put something back up. but if you are investing a lot of money in something that's going to come down again. it's just not the best use for that money. and i would also add the component of -- there is this element of trying to evaluate how much damage was done pryer to the storm because of the storm or because of maintenance issues. here's it reality with the -- >> i don't have much time and i want to hear from others. sorry, mr. governor. >> i'd like the comment on that. one, it should really think about building stronger and better because it prevents future costs for reconstruction and in communities like the virgin islands and puerto rico, the matching component can be difficult and administrative wavers. we'll have a difficult time meeting our match at 800 or $900 million to have the reconstruction done as is. so i'll say those two issues. it
