If there was ever an agency in need of oversight, FEMA is it. It's a very big management job, and because of the nature of the work they do, they have only one chance to get it right.

$50 billion is simply too much to give FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) all at once and ensure proper oversight.

By assigning this $100 million project to the Corps within days after Katrina came ashore, FEMA ensured schools could open with temporary classrooms in place and communities could get back to work.

I called upon the president to change the leadership of FEMA. If we're going to succeed at federal emergency management -- and I emphasize the word 'management' -- we have to have accountability and we have to have confidence.
