Lawmakers Call for Overhauling FEMA

By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer Mon Feb 20, 12:16 AM ET

WASHINGTON - The
Federal Emergency Management Agency should be dissolved and rebuilt before the upcoming hurricane season, a Democratic senator said Sunday.


"FEMA has become, to many people in America, and particularly the Gulf Coast, a joke, a four-letter word," said Sen. Joseph Lieberman (news, bio, voting record), D-Conn., and a member of the Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

He favored keeping the agency within the Homeland Security Department. FEMA was independent before it was folded into Homeland Security when the department was created after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"It's time for FEMA to go and to build something better, stronger within DHS to take its place," Lieberman said........
