Well, what have you seen? Mrs. Gore. Well, I took a helicopter tour along with the delegation of the area that had a great deal of devastation.

From the air I've seen dead animals, lots of vultures. But I can tell you something else that's very important, and that is that in working in a neighborhood outside the capital with people that so have an inspirational spirit, they have learned how to reorganize, and we all worked to help them clean the mud out of a schoolhouse so it can be converted for medical facilities, first and foremost.
