WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) issued the following statement today on the inclusion of a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) extension in the stopgap government funding bill:  

“We are working to keep the National Flood Insurance Program funded and government going for another two weeks while the nation mourns President George H. W. Bush,” said Sen. John Kennedy.  “I know that we can put longer-term solutions in place.  I’m ready to work through Christmas to get it done.”
