U.S. Senators Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), David Vitter (R-La.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) today announced an agreement on the treatment of levees under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which they hope will move the Senate closer to passing long-term legislation reauthorizing the NFIP.
