“Well, I am trying to answer the question. I am not going to say here that it is going to be--I do not know, for instance, what the exact amount is, what the total amount is that would be alleged to, or would be needed for the disaster assistance, so how can I say what the number would finally be? But I am prepared to say this, that there is a difference between the total amount that is requested over a period of months and years for disaster and those parts of it that are urgent, that need to be addressed now, and that is the part I am really focused on. But I am not prepared to say it would be even limited just to that. I think we need to look at what is really needed right now and in the short term or in the foreseeable future and go with that number.”
