Mr Former President, why in 1998 did your Administration scrap an Army Corp of Engineers plan to raise the New Orleans levees to withstand a Cat 5 Hurricane as "not cost effect"?

There was one story that Clinton killed the study. Nobody has provided any evidence to support that, except to say "See Federal Register."

I did some research (link below), and conclude that if Clinton did kill the study, he did so with the approval of Congress - and in fact, it appears as though the Congressional conference committee killed the study.
