We saw the hope in the people. This is a Real Partnership to complete the work that needs to be done in texas. Weve come as the federal government, will be supporting the state and its people.

I think what was most momentous to me, led by the survivors we met today, how much hope, joy, and love is still in texas. And i pray that flows throughout the world and grows in the United States and beyond. We will continue with the infrastructure recovery. We expect search and rescue to continue for the next couple days. The water is to peak, hopefully within two days, and as it recedes, we can get out of search and rescue mode and further into recovery for the survivors in the area. I think you and its an honor to be here and be able to support this and take the energy back to dhs where we will continue to work with the people of texas. Thank you. I would like to turn it over to secretary chao. Thank you
