President pledges aid to earthquake victims
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — On the brink of a gaping hole in the freeway, President Clinton lamented the awesome destruction of an earthquake that could toss around concrete "like a piece of paper." He pledged fast and aggressive federal help.
The president brought encouragement for quake victims yesterday starting with a down payment on government assistance for the shaken San Fernando Valley. He released $45 million for immediate highway repairs and Small Business Administration money that could make available $239 million in low-interest loans.
Clinton said he would ask Congress for an emergency supplemental appropriation to bolster federal disaster funds sure to be depleted by the quake.
Clinton came within a few miles of the epicenter of Monday's quake on a quick afternoon visit in which he surveyed highway damage, visited with residents of one stricken neighborhood and held a recovery round table with state and local officials.
The president said that while television had presented graphic images of the earthquake, "there's a difference in ... actually standing here looking at the size of this highway and thinking that in a matter of just a few seconds all that massive amount of construction can be moved around like a piece of paper."
Officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency say there is about $1.1 billion remaining in its disaster fund after the Midwest floods and the Los Angeles wildfires last fall.
Kansan tested for hantavirus
TOPEKA — A southwest Kansas resident may have suffered the often deadly hantavirus in recent months and lived, state health officials investigating the case said yesterday.
State epidemiologist Andrew Pelletier said the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta was studying blood samples from the patient. A determination is expected by next week.
The Associated Press
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment found "evidence of hantavirus infection" in the patient's blood and was compiling additional information, but the patient now "is fine and is not suffering from the illness at this time." Pelletier said.
