        HR. 5114--FLOOD INSURANCE REFORM PRINCIPLES ACT OF 2010

                                  _____
                                 

                         HON. CAROLYN McCARTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 2, 2010

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Madam Speaker, I firmly support H.R. 5114, 
the Flood Insurance Reform Principles Act of 2010, and requested to be 
a cosponsor, with consent from the bill's principle sponsor. 
Unfortunately, under House Rules, cosponsors may not be added to 
legislation once a house report has been filed for that legislation.
  I have worked tirelessly on this issue, both with my colleagues on 
the Financial Services Committee, as well as Senator Schumer. I remain 
committed to working on reforming the National Flood Insurance Program, 
and will support this again, should it return to the House for a final 
vote.
  When we reconvene for the 112th Congress, I will work with the bill's 
sponsor to ensure this important legislation is reintroduced.
