what does it all mean for connecticut residents? we know we will again feel the brunt of powerful weather. but we can tell our citizens that their state is more prepared for future challenges, that their families will be safer when disaster strikes, and that the odds of anyone having to needlessly suffer through prolonged power outages have been greatly diminished. when hurricane sandy struck, we saw results from the work we'd done together. while we can never entirely prevent damage or power outages, the response was better and faster. once again, we saw a problem and, together, we worked to address it. if these past two years have proven anything, it's that we have the ability to rally around a common good and a common goal. we've done it in a way that just doesn't seem possible these days in some places certainly not in washington d.c. in december, at the same time leadership from each of your caucuses were meeting with my staff for long hours night- after-night to negotiate a mitigation plan, our national budget was being driven

the coast of new jersey, new york, connecticut have been devastated. other surrounding states have sustained significant damage. in 2005, this body came together, passed a federal disaster assistance bill to help the gulf recover from hurricane katrina two weeks after the storm. congress acted to assist those who suffered damage in hurricane gustav, ike, within one month. the governors of our states, democrat and republican, have assessed over $82 billion in damages. the senate bill would have provided $60.4 billion. not everything that was requested, but a detailed, thoughtful disaster assistance plan to help these communities rewilled. -- rebuild. more than nine weeks since the storm hit house republican leadership is doing nothing after giving us nearly virtual assurance just yesterday that we would consider this assistance bill today. when a disaster hits on american soil, we as a congress have the responsibility and tradition of working together, democrat and republican, to help communities rebuild. our citizens are counting on us to help them rec

is it predicted it will pass in connecticut? >> it will be pretty tough. first of all, with the freedom of information, the whole trend is it to put more restrictions on information, not just about this kind of thing, but that would buck the trend. i mean, just the reaction to the story we published today, there was a huge negative reaction, actually i talked with steve darden, good night who introduced the bill, he says in 30 years of politics he never had a day like this, he had 60 phone calls on his home phone message and that whatever happens, it's going to be after a real pitch battle. one of the arguments that the gun owners one of their group called handgun rights group, said that, you know, yes, there are permits for 170,000 handguns, but in connecticut you don't need a permit for rifles. so, what they say is, you know, there are probably more rifles than handguns. so publishing the list of handgun owners wouldn't tell-- wouldn't serve the purpose that's intended anyway because you're not going to know who else owns guns. >> greta: john, thank you
