Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks at a Hurricane Laura Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks at a Hurricane Laura Emergency Operations Briefing and an Exchange With Reporters in Lake Charles, Louisiana August 29, 2020 The President. Well, thank you very much, everybody. And I'm here to support the great people of Louisiana. It's been a tremendous State for me. I love the people. We've had a good relationship right from the beginning. It's very important that I was here. And already met some people that have been absolutely devastated. This was a tremendously powerful storm. In fact, when it came in, it was actually much bigger than Katrina, I would say, Katrina being somewhat of a landmark, I think, in terms of devastation, but this had more power. This was almost coming in at a 5. It was a 5 a little bit out offshore, and it came in as a 4. But 150 mile-an-hour. It was up to 185 at one point. I don't know that we've ever seen that. But we're joined by Governor John Bel Edwards and Senator John Kennedy, two friends of mine. They've done a fantastic job representing the State. And Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, who's no longer really "Acting," in my mind, because he just got a promotion. And if John Kennedy can push him with Bill, that would be terrific, because he deserves it. He's been— he's been doing a great job. There's the man. Don't talk to me anymore. I've done it for you. Right there is the man. [Laughter] But thank you very much, Chad. And FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor. Pete, great job. He's all over the country right now doing different things. And we have a lot of different elements happening, but we have to take care of Louisiana; we have to take care of Texas. Texas got a little bit lucky. Thanks also to the Members of Congress that are here. I have a little list; that's a lot of members. I don't know—where are you folks back there? I love those guys. First of all, Louisiana attorney general—where's Jeff? Jeff Landry. Jeff. I could use you, Jeff. You're so good. He is so tough and so good. And I agree with so much of what you do, almost all of it. I'm not sure that I've seen anything I don't agree with. Great job. Jeff Landry, everybody. Thank you very much. Congressman Steve Scalise. Steve, the most—he's probably the bravest man in the room, but he's done good. And I actually think he's better looking today than he was 3 years ago, if you want to know the truth. He went through hell. And we found out that his family loves him, that's for sure, because they were with you all the way. That was a rough time in that hospital that night, right? That was a rough time, Steve. We're glad to have you. People love you. People love you. Congressman Clay Higgins. And, Clay—thank you very much, Clay, being here. Congressman Garret Graves. Garret, nice to see you. What are you doing sitting back there? I can't believe it. That's not like you and Mike. I can't believe you guys. They're being low key today for a change, right? And Mike Johnson, my friend. And he's been supportive. They're all warriors. These people are warriors. These people are warriors. They fight for us and they fight for the people that they represent, and they're incredible warriors. Thank you, Mike. I appreciate it very much. And State Senator Mark Abraham. And, Mark, thank you. Good job you're doing. I hear a great job. James Waskom, director of Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. Good. You've got plenty to prepare for. Now, do you have other storms, James, coming in? Is that what I'm hearing? 1 Director of the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness James Waskom. Three, Mr. President. The President. You've got to be kidding, James. Don't let that happen. Director Waskom. Well, not necessarily Louisiana, but they're coming across the Atlantic. The President. In other words, they're heading in a general direction. Is that what you're saying? That's not good. What looks like the likelihood that they actually form and reach? Director Waskom. Too early to tell, Mr. President. [Inaudible] The President. So you had some tremendously bad storms 50, 60, 70 years ago. You and I were talking about dates. What's the difference now, would you say, in terms of storms coming in now, compared to many years ago? Director Waskom. They seem to be more frequent, Mr. President, and stronger. So there's one thing I'd probably say. Governor John Bel Edwards of Louisiana. But the other thing, Mr. President, this one went from a tropical storm to a category 4—— The President. Quickly. Gov. Edwards. [Inaudible]—in 36 hours. And so we had a lot of people who, early on, not only were the going to evacuate them, but hours before landfall, it finally reached its strength level, where, I think people decided that they needed—and, Tony, you told me that people evacuated late, and thank God they did, because there's no way you would be sitting here right now with twelve deaths. The President. So that, really, the fact that they finally did get out—they saw it building. It built so fast, didn't it? Gov. Edwards. Yes, sir. The President. Because it looked like it was going to be the lesser between Marco and this. And Marco—— Gov. Edwards. Disintegrated. The President. It disintegrated, and this just came in roaring. It's unbelievable. Nic Hunter. Nic, thank you. Great job, Nic. Great job you're doing. We appreciate it. Mayor of Lake Charles. You got hit hard. Were you the hardest hit, would you say, Nic? Mayor Nic Hunter of Lake Charles, Louisiana. I can't quantify if we were the hardest hit, but I can tell you we took a hell of a punch. [Laughter] The President. Yes. You took a big punch. Mayor Hunter. Yes, sir. The President. But you'll be back. Participant. [Inaudible] The President. A hundred percent. Mayor Hunter. And a hundred percent of the city is without power. Yes, sir. The President. So when people get used to air conditioning—and this is very hot—when people get used to air conditioning and all of a sudden they don't have it, that's a very traumatic situation, isn't it? 2 Mayor Hunter. It is. You find out how acclimated we are to modern conveniences in a time like this. The President. Yes. Mayor Hunter. And no power, very limited amounts of water right now, make it very difficult for a lot of people in Lake Charles. The President. Wow. You have a great reputation. Thank you. Mayor Hunter. Thank you. The President. Thank you very much. Michael Danahay. Michael. Please, Michael. Mayor Michael Danahay of Sulphur, Louisiana. Back here, Mr. President. The President. Oh. Hi, Michael. How are you doing, Michael? Mayor Danahay. [Inaudible] The President. That's the mayor of Sulphur. Are you hit, would you say, like this one? Pretty much like this one? Mayor Danahay. Yes, sir. The President. Very close, huh? How's it going? Mayor Danahay. It's going well. We have services, basic services, back up—[inaudible]. The President. Well, good job. Good luck. And the mayor of Westlake, Bob Hardey. Mayor Robert Hardey of Westlake, Louisiana. Yes, sir. The President. Thank you, Bob. How's it going? Mayor Hardey. King of like Mike, but we got hit pretty hard. I would say—— The President. Similar. Mayor Hardey. ——65 percent—[inaudible]. It's not going to be fast. [Inaudible]—funding, we'll get ourselves cleaned up. The President. Well, you'll all get it going. One thing I know about this State: They rebuild it fast. There's no problem. And we'll supply what we have to supply, and you know what a lot of that is—a thing called, "green," right? Mayor Hardey. Yes, sir. The President. And we'll take care of you. I'll be speaking with you and John. And I just want to recognize Bill Cassidy and Congressman Ralph Abraham, two great people. And Bill is going through a problem, and I hope Ralph is fine. Right? Ralph is fine. And Bill is going through a problem, but I spoke to him the other day, and it sounds like he's doing well. And he's been, along with John, a terrific Senator. So Hurricane Laura was a category 4 storm, and it was actually, for a little while, a 5. It was up to 175, almost 180 miles an hour—few people have ever even heard of that—with winds currently—when it came in, it was at 150 miles per hour at landfall, damaging thousands of homes and causing hundreds of road blockages and major power outages. 3 And I heard—I think this is correct—that it was the most powerful storm coming in and hitting your land in 150 years—— Gov. Edwards. Yes, sir. The President. ——coming in. Gov. Edwards. And that's assuming the measurement was right—[inaudible]. The President. Yes, you don't know. [Laughter] How did they do it? They put their finger up, right? I just visited the Cajun Navy and the relief center.

Further, it is vital that we continue to supply the country with energy to meet our critical needs. To help achieve these critical goals, the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Governors Coalition offers its continued support for efforts to increase revenue sharing to support coastal states responsible for energy production on the OCS. The Coalition urges you to consider the impacted coastal resources in these states and to include these needs in additional stimulus legislative relief and recovery packages.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 June 14, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: We write today to urge you to fully reopen the House of Representatives. The positive impact of increasing vaccination rates and decreasing cases of COVID-19 are clear to see. Businesses are open, sporting venues and cultural institutions have welcomed back fans and visitors, and restrictions have been lifted. On June 11, Washington D.C. fully reopened and lifted the restrictions put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the United States Capitol and the People’s House have failed to do the same. The Capitol remains closed to the American people and the House continues to maintain policies that run contrary to science of COVID-19. It is time for you to reopen the House and get back to serving the American people. Weekly case numbers in the United States have reached their lowest point since March of 2020 at the very start of the pandemic, and every day hundreds of thousands of Americans are being vaccinated. This also holds true for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and the Capitol Hill community specifically. Over the last two weeks cases are down 36% in Washington D.C. and over 40% in both Virginia and Maryland. On Capitol Hill, no congressional staffer is known to have tested positive in weeks and no Member of Congress is known to have tested positive in months. This can no doubt be attributed to the institution’s steady access to vaccinations.

  • Veterans Elected in the Midterms 2018
    Veterans Elected In the Mid-Terms to Congress As of 16 November 2018, here are the veterans from all services who were just recently elected or re- elected to Congress. This may not be completely accurate since some races are too close to call. However, having said that if one or more of these Members of Congress are in your AOR, I request that you pass this along to our membership so that they can reach out to the newly elected veterans to put our Marine Corps League on the radar and to establish a constituent relationship. We also need to reaffirm our relationships with the incumbents as 2019 is going to be a busy legislative time with some new political dynamics. Note that there are 11 Marines in the new Congress. Here’s the list divided up between those who ran as Republicans and Democrats: Republicans 1. Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) Branch: Army 2. Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Ariz.) Branch: Army 3. Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ariz.) Branch: Army National Guard 4. Rep. Paul Cook (R-Calif.) Branch: Marine Corps 5. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) Branch: Marine Corps 6. Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) Branch: Army 7.
