I rise today in support of H.R. 3669. a bill that would temporarily increase the borrowing authority of the Federal Emergency Management Agencys National Flood Insurance Program. This bill was introduced by my friend and colleague from Ohio. Mr. NEY. in response to the terrible destruction that has resulted from Hurricane Katrina. Communities across the Gull Coast from Louisiana. Mississippi. and Alabama have been wiped out. Massive numbers of people are virtual refugees in their own country. And though it will take weeks to determine the full extent of this tragedy. it is likely that thousands of our fellow citizens lost their lives. For those who survive. the task has turned towards recovery.
