Heavily armed U.S. troops have secured^1 the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Troops have formed a perimeter and distributed supplies to needy refugees who had converged at the building and its environs.
Meanwhile, the President is on a mission to inspect the Gulf Coast and has personally interviewed victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Landing in Marine One near New Orleans moments ago, the President was greeted by local officials, including the mayor of the city who has been relentless, vociferous and instrumental in calling for further assistance for his beleaguered constituents.
