We're going to listen in.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: He runs what they call FEMA, which is the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Its job is to provide help. That's what his job is to do, is to provide help during emergency. And this is an emergency. Today I signed a declaration declaring this an emergency which then provides for federal help. Which means money to fight the fires. It means temporary housing money and long-term housing money. It means help for small-business owners. I understand there's a lot of small-business owners who are worried about your business, and I don't blame you. I'd be worried too. And it provides help. It helps provide counseling services, and a lot of folks here -- I hope if you need counseling, you ask for it. A lot of people who want to help. So this is the federal government's way of committing resources allowed under the law -- full extent of the resources under the law. I appreciate Congressman J.D. Hayworth for working this issue hard. I appreciate you being here, J.D. Thanks for coming.</s>PHILLIPS: President Bush meeting with some of 30,000 people displaced by the incredible destruction in eastern Arizona.
