Hillary calls for establishment of a 9/11 style commission...

Introduces legislation to split FEMA from the Department of Homeland Security and make it a seperate cabinet level department as it was teated under President Clinton.

"The slow pace of relief efforts in the face of a mounting death toll ... seems to confirm that our ability to respond to cataclysmic disasters has not been adequately addressed," she said.

3. You forgot this paragraph

Since you only quoted 3 paragraphs, I'll add this one from the article:

Clinton has decided at least one thing without waiting for any commission reports. She said she plans to introduce legislation to split the Federal Emergency Management Agency out of the Department of Homeland Security and give it back a cabinet-level director like it had in her husband's administration.
