Bill White Fema Quotations

Today, I have talked with the senior FEMA official in the United States and the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. They have committed to review both deadlines for hotel reimbursement based on the hotel population and for acquiring needed apartments based on the supply and demand for apartments in Houston,

Good countries, like good people, keep their word, and I'm sure FEMA will.

We may be asking for extensions of these deadlines based on market conditions and commitments previously made by FEMA, and we feel confident that FEMA will review those requests on the merits,

I can't address that. I was not privy to any conversations that might have occurred in the past where FEMA was encouraging any jurisdictions to put people in 12-month leases.
