JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, this is a final amendment to the
bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If
adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as
amended. While this amendment will not kill the bill, it will save lives. It
does this by transferring $2.4 billion to the FEMA Pre-Disaster
Mitigation account, offset by eliminating the funding for the
President's border wall and new funds for ICE to be used for an
additional 10,000 detention beds. Mitigation is preplanning. Mitigation is helping to mitigate the
power outages all over the hurricane region.
