          WORKING ON BEHALF OF ORLEANS AND JEFFERSON PARISHES

  (Mr. CAO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CAO. Mr. Speaker, the issues of crime and hurricane recovery are 
most important for Orleans and Jefferson Parishes. Yesterday I voted 
for the Witness Security and Protection Grant Program Act, and it 
passed. Law enforcement officials in my district must have the Federal 
resources needed to protect our citizens.
  On Monday, I requested a government review of unresolved FEMA public 
assistance projects that will help Louisiana move forward with delayed 
disaster recovery efforts. Lastly, I was able to acknowledge the 
diverse culture of New Orleans by cosponsoring a resolution to honor 
black music.
  It has been a productive week.
