SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Gulf Coast region of the United States was recently 
        decimated by twin natural disasters: Hurricanes Katrina and 
        Rita.
            (2) Hurricane Katrina crashed into the Gulf Coast on August 
        29, 2005, as a category 4 storm.
            (3) At the time of its landing, Hurricane Katrina was 
        recorded as the third strongest hurricane to ever make landfall 
        on the United States, with sustained winds over 140 miles per 
        hour.
            (4) The damage and destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina 
        along the coastal regions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and 
        Alabama were unmatched in their breadth and scope.
            (5) A 10- to 30-foot storm surge came ashore on over 200 
        continuous miles of coastline from southeast Louisiana, 
        including Mississippi and Alabama, through to the Florida 
        panhandle.
            (6) The 30-foot storm surge recorded at Biloxi, 
        Mississippi, is the highest ever observed in the United States.
            (7) Hurricane Katrina's storm surge quickly breached the 
        levee system that protected the city of New Orleans from Lake 
        Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River, subsequently flooding 
        at least 80 percent of the city.
            (8) The magnitude of Hurricane Katrina was of such an 
        unprecedented scale that the Federal disaster declarations 
        which followed its destructive path blanketed over 90,000 
        square miles of the United States, an area almost as large as 
        the United Kingdom, displacing more than 1,000,000 people--a 
        humanitarian crisis on a scale unseen in the United States 
        since the Great Depression.
            (9) The storm has now become the most destructive and 
        costliest natural disaster in the history of the United States, 
        resulting in over 1,300 deaths and estimated damage between 
        $70,000,000,000 and $130,000,000,000.
            (10) Less than one month later, on September 24, 2005, the 
        region was battered again, this time by the strongest-measured 
        hurricane to ever have entered the Gulf of Mexico--Hurricane 
        Rita.
            (11) Hurricane Rita came ashore between Texas and Louisiana 
        as a category 3 hurricane, packing winds up to 120 miles per 
        hour and a storm surge of 10 feet.
            (12) A day prior to landfall, the resultant storm surge 
        also reopened some of the levee breaches caused by Hurricane 
        Katrina a month earlier and re-flooded parts of New Orleans.
            (13) Local storm surges of 15 to 20 feet in southwestern 
        Louisiana were reported, and damage was extensive in coastal 
        parishes.
            (14) Thousands of residents and families in the effected 
        States, who lived outside the 100-year flood plain and were 
        told they did not need flood insurance, suffered significant 
        damage to their homes and in many cases total losses.
            (15) These families are currently without any type of 
        permanent shelter or any means by which to acquire such shelter 
        or otherwise make themselves whole, thus crippling the Gulf 
        Coast region and its economy.
            (16) Because of the unprecedented magnitude of the storm 
        and the impact that the devastation of such a large region will 
        have on the United States as a whole, the Federal Government 
        should play a role in providing emergency assistance to these 
        families to help them rebuild and get on with their lives.

Costs.--Notwithstanding section 312, the Director shall assure that no 
owner of an eligible structure will receive assistance under this

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to require the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide temporary emergency assistance for primary residences damaged or destroyed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Increases from 75% to 90% the amount the President may contribute toward the cost of cost-effective hazard mitigation measures which substantially reduce the risk of future damage, hardship, loss, or suffering in any area affected by a major disaster. Doubles from 7.5% to 15% of the estimated aggregate federal disaster relief grants to an area the limit on the total amount of such presidential contributions.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, 
        illuminated many flaws in the Nation's domestic security, 
        especially in its identification system.
            (2) Drivers' licenses and identification cards issued by 
        States have become the favored form of identity verification in 
        the United States and are used by government agencies and 
        private entities alike.
            (3) Inconsistent requirements between the States for 
        initial identity verification and insufficient verification of 
        identity documents have made the identification systems of 
        States a prime target for fraud and identity theft.
            (4) Different designs on drivers' licenses and 
        identification cards issued by States have created a market, 
        including sales on the Internet, for fake cards that look real 
        to those who are unfamiliar with the official designs.
            (5) The use of new technologies will improve the security 
        of State identification systems.
            (6) Identification card technologies that accommodate other 
        government and private applications create a Federal benefit 
        that justifies Federal assistance.
            (7) Improving the security of drivers' licenses and 
        identification cards issued by the States will eliminate 
        multiple licensing of individuals who commit fraud, impede the 
        purchase of alcohol and tobacco products by underage 
        individuals, and severely reduce identity theft.
            (8) The report of the Markle Foundation Task Force on 
        National Security in the Information Age, published in December 
        2003, recommended that the Federal Government develop standards 
        for State drivers' licenses and identification cards and 
        examine the application of smart card and biometric information 
        technologies to such drivers' licenses and identification 
        cards.
            (9) The Final Report of the National Commission on 
        Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 
        ``9/11 Commission'') described the potential for biometric 
        identifiers in reducing identity fraud and specifically 
        recommended that the Federal Government set standards for the 
        issuance of drivers' licenses.
