6. Don't know but I've been all over NOLA and other Gulf Coast areas devastated by Katrina.
IMO locals need money more than bureaucrats to rebuild.

I don't believe an executive order can transfer the billions of dollars needed from other government programs to finish rebuilding the areas destroyed by Katrina.
