Bill Clinton: “That's really good. I wonder, what are your thoughts about how well we're doing in getting our aid down there, how we're…”

On the recordNovember 10, 1998
That's really good. I wonder, what are your thoughts about how well we're doing in getting our aid down there, how we're going to handle extra volunteer help, all the other things you could do. What's the most important thing we could give next--that we should do next after the money that you brought down? Mrs. Gore. I think the most important thing--and they are very, very appreciative of the money that you authorized and we brought--but the next most important thing would probably be if some of the FEMA--the Spanish-speaking FEMA people who have worked in Puerto Rico and have experience after Hurricane Georges be sent over here in order to help, again, with the acute relief effort. I think that would be a tremendous asset if that could be arranged.
