Harry Thomas
Executive Secretary of the U.S. Department of State
Good afternoon. We at the State Department, join all Americans in thanking the international community for the outpouring of assistance now arriving from across the globe by air, land and sea to the recovery efforts. As of today, 117 countries and 12 international organizations have offered or sent money, food, vital supplies and technical assistance. These generous offers will do much to alleviate the human suffering caused by the destructive hurricane and its aftermath. Even more than the actual material support, we appreciate the goodwill that has generated these offers. The American people have a long tradition of extending a hand to those in need. Now, in our time of need, we are deeply touched to see the response of people from every corner of the world.
