Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) tells former Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown, that problems in bureaucratic structure can be overcome with good leadership during Brown’s appearance before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Coleman insinuates that Brown exercised poor leadership during the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, which Brown angrily refutes. Brown says that the e-mail messages Coleman is citing are taken out of context. (1:19)
