President Bush Participates in Briefing at Emergency Operations Center

President Bush on Wednesday said, "I can't thank you all enough for working as hard as you are. ...The people of your state care a lot about the fact that you are working as hard as you are. And if this helps you keep going, I want to thank you, and I want to thank all the volunteers and the faith-based community that always rises up in a challenge like this. They listen to that universal call to love a neighbor like you'd like to be loved yourself. And that's happening here in Louisiana again. And I know the people... whose lives have been affected appreciate a total stranger coming in to help."
