SPEAKER(S): PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH

[*] BUSH: Good evening. As you know, my duties have me here in Washington tonight to oversee the federal government's efforts to help citizens recover from Hurricane Gustav.

We are thankful that the damage in New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast was less than many had feared.

I thank all the wonderful volunteers who stepped forward to help their brothers and sisters in need.
