have long been aware of this
limitation.
Under the bill which I spon-
sored, all types of flooding
would be covered, under a
system whereby the federal
government would underwrite
the additional cost to the in-
surance companies of provi-
ding flood insurance at reason-
able cost. The bill passed by
the Senate, and that being
considered by the House, have
similar provisions. While my
bill provided for insurance on
agricultural lands and equip-
ment as well as dwelling, the
bills now under consideration
provide, instead, that the Sec-
retary of Housing and Urban
Development may extend pro-
visions of the act to cover both
agricultural and business pro-
perties. HUD Secretary Robert
Wood has given highly favor-
able testimony in both House
and Senate, and I am hopeful
that favorable consideration
will result before the end of
this term.
The damages from six major
hurricanes in the present de-
cade total an estimated $L,
800,000,000. Add to this the
damages from swollen rivers
and the torrential downpours
so familiar in our area, and the
cost goes many millions higher.
It makes for sounder government
policy if we help citizens to
help themselves, through insur-
ance, rather than rely upon
more federal, state, and local
appropriations after every
flood.

With the waning of summer and the passing of the usual rainy sea-
son, there is hope that our District might be spared from disastrous
floods this season. Since I have been in office, less than three years,
there have been severe floods in Sanderson, Dell City, Culberson
County, along the Rio Grande in Presidio County; and less severe,
but still damaging, floods in the El Paso area.
Flood control programs by
both the Corps of Engineers
and the Soil Conservation Ser-
vice are under study and design
stages in several counties of
our District. Meanwhile, we
have succeeded in having five
of my counties now made eli-
gible for Federal Crop Insur-
ance. They are: Culberson, El
Paso, Hudspeth, Pecos and
Reeves. Crop Insurance,how-
ever, extends only to commo-
dities, and not to irrigation
works, agricultural lands, build-
ings, or businesses.
Insurance companies have
usually refused to write flood
insurance, or have priced it so
high that the annual risk sim-
ply does not justify the expen-
diture. I am glad to report
that the Senate version of a
flood insurance bill was passed
by the Senate last Thursday,
September 14. Hearings are now
under way on the House Bill,
HR 11197, on which I will give
testimony this month. As I in-'
formed readers of the NEWS
REPORT earlier, I had the pri-
vilege of joining the distinguis-
hed Majority Whip of the
House, the Honorable Hale
Boggs, in introducing similar
legislation.
After Hurricane Betsy did
millions of dollars in damage
in the New Orleans area,Con-
gressman Boggs learned that
thousands of his constituents
found themselves uninsured un-
less it could be established that
winds from the hurricane had
actually blown the water into
their buildings. Insurance, gen- •
erally, does not cover damage
from rising waters. Property
