Louisiana Senator Mary L. Landrieu

Quote:

"We are indeed fortunate to have an able and experienced director of FEMA who has been with us on the ground for some time".

Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco

"Director Brown, I hope you will tell President Bush how much we appreciated - these are the times that really count - to know that our federal government will step in and give us the kind of assistance that we need".
