Subcommittee hearing
Witness:
- Cam Hamilton, Acting Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency
Hamilton testified in defense of FEMA:
As the senior advisor to the President on disasters and emergency management, and to the Secretary of Homeland Security, I do not believe it is in the best interest the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Having said that, I am not in a position to make decisions and impact outcomes on whether or not a determination as consequential as that should be made. That is a conversation that should be had between the President of the United States and this governing body.
