Washington, D.C. -  Today, US Rep. David Price has released transcripts of Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee hearings and floor speeches of the last two years.

These transcripts highlight the questions Price has asked of Bush Administration officials, including former FEMA Director Michael Brown, former DHS Secretary Tom Ridge, current DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, and others.

The answers provided by these officials reveal their "terrorism-only" approach to preparedness -- an approach that has hurt hurricane-prone states like North Carolina and those along the Gulf Coast.
