Ms. MAXINE WATERS of California.

Mr. Speaker, I think that what Mr. Scalise said is the significant question about this issue, and that is: What do we do today to make sure that we have short-term reauthorization?

If we have thoughts other than that, are we reexamining those thoughts in any way, or do we understand the danger that may be imposed upon our ability to get short-term reauthorization with any efforts that we are making to codify or place into law the ability for private insurers to participate in the program, along with the way that they participate for the National Flood Insurance Program?

I think the significant question is what Mr. Scalise has said: Will we be able to support short-term reauthorization with whatever we do today? That becomes the question.
