SOT Bill Clinton, US President (English): "For the past several days, Hurricane George has torn through the Caribbean, costing many lives. Now, as we speak, the hurricane is bearing down on south Florida. I have spoken several times with Fema (Federal Emergency Management Agency) director James Lee Witt. For the past day an emergency response team has been on the ground, working with the government and the people of Florida to prepare for the storm. We are as ready as we can be and we pray that the human and material cost will be limited. In the coming days we will be working as closely as possible with the state of Florida, to provide whatever assistance will do the most good."
