" In some cases, we've done a good job of getting $2,000 to people. And in some cases, there's -- probably do a better job of getting temporary housing to people"

"I think that the notion of helping people immediately worked pretty good. It worked good because the government responded with the checks; it also worked really good because our individual citizens responded in an incredibly generous and compassionate way."

"There's always going to be frustrations in the immediate aftermath of a storm. I remember going down there and talking to those mayors in Mississippi, that -- and the county folks that were just overwhelmed. You're looking at a Mayor of Gulfport, Mississippi, who had been in office for two months, and that city was obliterated -- just gone. Pascagoula, Mississippi, the Mayor of that city had been mayor for two months. A young guy, you know, wanted to serve his community. The first thing that came to his desk was the fact that his city got wiped out.

And there was the initial shock, and then there was the reaction about, how about getting this debris removed. And there was some bureaucracy, some rules that prevented the debris from getting removed right off the bat. And I'll explain why, if you're interested. Okay, now that you're interested, I'll tell you. Because they didn't want to be moving federally-paid dozers on private property. Imagine cleaning up the debris and a person shows up, and says, where's my valuable china? Or, where's my valuable art?

So we had to work through all this. The frustration level was building. But we came up with an accord that allowed for the federal government to pay for debris removal off private property. It took a while, and there were a lot of frustrations, Wendell, but the fact that we were able to gather the problem and respond to it was positive, and that's what continues on. "

Silly me.
