George W Bush

“We're keeping the same level of folks in New Orleans to tell the ongoing recovery and the rebuilding and all the things that have been dominating the screen for the last 3-1/2 weeks.”
John Stack
“New Orleans is, of course, our next thrust, and we're going to have to have to staff recovery efforts down there, but it'll be a different kind of recovery effort, ... We'll be supporting the EOC in Baton Rouge with temporary communications until the National Guard can get in.”
Gary Stratton
“The arrival of the Delphin Renaissance marks the first step in the recovery of the cruise industry in New Orleans.”
Gary LaGrange
“New Orleans won't be safe from another storm like Katrina until we restore this hurricane buffer.”
Robert Twilley
“New Orleans is body and soul. The soul is the people and the body is the architecture, and you can't save the one without saving the other. We need to have individual assessment of houses before they are bulldozed willy-nilly.”
