WASHINGTON - Today, Presidential Candidate Chris Dodd released the following statement on the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina:

"On the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we are reminded of the tens of thousands of people still affected by this catastrophe. Americans have lost their homes, their livelihoods, and for far too many, their lives, due to an egregious lapse in leadership by the Bush Administration.

"We need bold leadership to right the wrongs of Katrina and improve the lives of those affected by this national tragedy. I have proposed legislation to put tens of thousands of people back in their homes and revitalize the Gulf Coast, but we must also ensure that this kind of tragedy doesn't happen again. We need leadership that will ensure that we are always prepared by investing in our infrastructure and our first responders."
