As Congress considers ways to resolve wind-versus-water damage disputes, the U.S. House of Representatives for the second time in two weeks opted not to act on a bill that would add windstorm coverage to the National Flood Insurance Program. But Congress may not have seen the last of this controversial proposal.

Indeed, Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Miss., who authored the bill, is insistent on bringing it back to the House floor in September, according to Matt Brady, a representative for the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies.

Mr. Brady said the House considered bringing the bill to the floor on July 30, but ultimately opted to hold off until after their summer recess. He said the lack of action on the bill shows that Congress is listening to the measure's opponents and realizing that H.R. 1264, the Multiple Peril Insurance Act, is not good policy.
