TALKING POINTS FOR PRESIDENT CLINTON
DOT AWARDS EMERGENCY R E L I E F FUNDS
TO IDAHO, OREGON, AND WASHINGTON
FOR FLOOD DAMAGED ROADS
FEBRUARY 13,1996
In times of trouble and disaster, the American people . .they pull together.
I have made it one of my Administration's top priorities to pull together the way
our people do...to respond to their needs as soon as we can...to cut red tape and
get help out to those who need it.
One response I'd like to take note of is that of the brave men and women of the
US Coast Guard who I'm told rescued some 40 people during these
floods...risking life and limb to save others...we should all be proud of their
actions...and I'd like to take this opportunity to say, on behalf of all Americans,
Thank you.
Last Saturday I dispatched FEMA Director James Lee Witt, Federal Highway
Administrator Rodney Slater, Army Corps of Engineers Commander General
Stanley Genega and other members of my administration to Oregon to assess the
damage first hand.
That day. Administrator Slater announced an initial allocation of $5 million in
Federal Highway Administration Emergency Relief fiinds to Oregon. He also
announced $4 million to Washington and $2 million to Idaho in Emergency Relief
funds.
These were only initial allocations based on initial damage assessments.
Today I am announcing that-Sccrctary Pena hac juot awarded additional allocations
to Oregon ($10 million), Washington (510 million) and Idaho ($4 million) in
Emergency Relief funds to help repair federal-aid highway damage caused by
flooding? These additional funds bring Oregon's total to $15 million,
Washington's to $14 million and Idaho's to $9 million.
This is what I believe our government should be about — seeing people's needs
and responding quickly.
I know that recovery from a natural disaster like this takes time. And, as we did
during the Midwestfloodsof 1993 and California's Northridge earthquake of
1994, my administration will stand by you, working hand-in-hand, until the job is
done. You can count on my team to be with you every step along the way toward
your recovery

PRESIDENT WILLIAM J . CLINTON
REMARKS ON FLOODING IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST
PORTLAND, OREGON
a5FEB 13 P9 : 12
FEBRUARY 14, 1996
Acknowledgments: Jim McKune [Mack-Yoon; introduces you.] On behalf of all Americans,
my heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones, homes, property. Tremendous
admiration for the incredible work done by the people of this city and the people of this state.
Proud of the contribution made by all of the federal agencies working in partnership with
Oregon, especially the work of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its Director,
James Lee Witt; Army Corps of Engineers, who used their nightscopes to make sure the
dikes along the Columbia were holding strong; the National Guard, which has done just about
everything imaginable to help ~ even air-dropping hay to cattle cut off by the water on
Sauvie's [So-Vees] Island. You in this state are fortunate in the men and women you have
chosen to represent you in Washington: Senators Hatfield and Wyden, Representatives
DeFazio, Bunn...in your leaders here at home: Governor Kitzhaber, Mayor Katz...and in
your great state and metro Emergency Management team.
What I have to say today won't take long. I know that you all have had a pretty busy few
weeks, and that you still have a lot of work left to do.
This is an age of possibility, but one in which our people face stiff challenges. A few weeks
ago, in my State of the Union Address, I spoke of the challenges we face as a nation as we
stand at the dawn of a new century.
The seven challenges I outlined grow out of the values that have stood us so well for so long:
to cherish our children and strengthen our families; to provide Americans with the educational
opportunities we will need for the 21st century; to help every American who is willing to
work for it, achieve economic security in this new age; to take our streets back from crime,
drugs, and gangs; to leave our environment safe and clean for the next generation; to
maintain America's leadership in the fight for freedom and peace around the world; to reform
and reinvent our government so that it works better, costs less, and earns our trust.
We can meet these challenges only by working together. Not through big government alone,
not by returning to the time when our citizens were left to fend for themselves. But by going
forward as one America, one nation, working together - in our businesses, our schools, our
churches, our community groups, and government at all levels.
I have come here, to the banks of the Willamette, to say: If anyone, anywhere doubts what
we can do when we work together, they need only come to Portland. If we could carry to
every corner of this country the great spirit the people of Oregon and Washington brought to
this disaster, we would meet our challenges in no time flat.
�This wall tells it all. [gesture behind you.] I want the whole country to hear the story of how
you built it.
It was exactly a week ago when Mayor Katz learned that the seawalls were no match for this
river, and that you'd have to get an emergency wall up before the river crested on Thursday
night. City crews worked overnight, but there were too few of them for too big a job.
Without outside help, the wall wouldn't be ready in time. So Mayor Katz called on the people
of Portland. And you responded.
Within minutes, 1,000 men and women from all over the area cast aside what they were
doing and came here to build this wall ~ to hammer boards, to wrap them with plastic, to
pile rock, to pass sandbags hand-to-hand. Restaurants donated food. Carpenters lent
equipment. AmeriCorps volunteers ~ young people learning construction skills ~ put their
education to work. Even 60 U.S. Marines pitched in. By midnight, the mile-long wall was
finished.
And when the river finally crested on Friday afternoon, it hit the wall you built. And the wall
held.
We saw similar stories of courage and teamwork around the state. A tug boat crew rescuing a
man stranded on the top of his house. A police officer jumping into a debris-filled river in a
failed attempt to save a life. Rescue workers evacuating people from their homes. Neighbors
helping neighbors to move cattle to higher ground.
There are individual heroes everywhere. But I think we all know that this is about more than
individuals. What you did on your own was often remarkable. But what you did together was
truly great.
This wall of triumph will never obscure the tragedy of the Pacific Northwest has faced. Four
lives lost, dozens of people injured, thousands more evacuated from their homes. Farmland
ruined. Livestock destroyed. Roads, homes, businesses, power-lines swept away by
mudslides, avalanches, and washouts. There are many, many people who face a difficult
aftermath...without homes...without safe drinking water...having to start again.
The people of Oregon and Washington have pulled together and done their part. And the
national government will continue to do its part, too. You will have our help until the job of
cleaning up and rebuilding isfinished.Today, I will survey the damage around the region,
talk with members of the Congressional delegation, with state and local officials to see what
more we can do help you.
I am particularly proud of the role played by FEMA - which only a few years ago was a
disaster, and is now a model disaster relief agency. Under the leadership of James Lee Witt,
FEMA will continue to expand its efforts to make federal aid available to people who lost
homes and property in designated areas.
�It will continue to help the state and local government restore damaged facilities. And where
it once took a month for families to get help, now you can call an 800 number and get help
within days.
The Small Business Administration will do everything in its power to get Oregon's thriving
small businesses up and running again.
I am pleased to announce today emergency grants from other government agencies. The
Department of Transportation is committing $10 million to help repair highways damaged by
the flood. The Department of Housing and Urban is speeding $10.3 million for community
development and housing assistance. And the Department of Labor is providing $2 million in
emergency funds for dislocated workers.
It takes time to repair the ravages of a flood like this. But we will stay with it until the job is
done. On that, you have my word.
I understand that you may keep part of this wall in place. I hope you will. In Berlin, they
keep a portion of their wall intact as a reminder of the damage a wall can do when it is built
to divide a city, to keep people and ideas apart. Here in Portland, you have built a very
different kind of wall ~ one that keeps everyone together. That's something worth
remembering.
For Portland, this wall is an embodiment of our connection to one another. It reflects your
shared commitment to this city, this community, and, yes, to this river, which has sustained
Portland and this region from the moment the first settlers crossed the Cascades and set out to
build better lives on its shores.
I want to close by asking you to remember that today is Oregon's birthday. On February 14,
1857, the people of this territory decided that their bond to each other was strong enough to
sustain a state. The spirit that brought Oregonians together in statehood brought you together
last week to build this wall. May that spirit heal the wounds of recent days. And may it
continue to grow and flourish for the next 139 years — and beyond.
Thank you and God bless you.

February 14, 1996
[Thank participants. Those who lost homes, Hans Johnston and Chris and Sherry Marlowe;
Maypr Jim Graham, Deoutv Fire Chief Mark Anderson (who is to lead off discussion);
qpvgmpr Lpwery; Senator Patty Mumy; Senator Slade Gorton: Rep. Linda Smith: FEMA's
J^mes Lge WittIn audience: Ore. Qpyempr Kjtzfrater; Senators Wvden and Hatfield: Trans. Sec. Pena: SBA
Regional Administrator Gretchen Sorenson; representatives from the Army Corps of
Engineers.]
The hearts of the nation go out to the people who have lost so much to this flood. I am here
to tell Mr. Johnston and the Mariowes, whose homes were demolished, and other flood
victims: You will get back on your feet. We will be here to help you.
In my State of the Union Address, I outlined our seven biggest challenges for the future,
challenges we must meet if we are to make the American Dream available to all our people
and unite our country around our shared values.
Those seven are strengthening our families and giving our children better childhoods,
providing better education for all Americans, enhancing the security of working families
through access to health care, lifetime education and training and secure pensions, fighting
crime and gangs and drugs until crime is the exception ~ not the rule - in America again,
protecting our environment, maintaining our world leadership for peace andfreedomand
continuing to reform and reinvent our government so that it does a better job at less cost in
helping our people to make the most of their own lives, and solve our problems together.
The way we will meet these is by working together: businesses, churches, schools,
community groups, and government at all levels. Woodland has reminded us: The power of
community is exponential.
The community of Woodland has come together in an extraordinary way, and because it has,
a greater disaster was averted. Volunteerfirefighters,under Fire Chief Ed Chapman and
Deputy Fire Chief Mark Anderson, evacuated 1,000 people in 40 minutes. Even while their
own homes were damaged, emergency workers were tireless. Sandbaggers were relentless.
Restaurants opened their kitchens to feed workers and victims.
Still, recovering from a natural disaster of this scale cannot happen without a strong helping
hand. The national government is committed to help, just as we did in the Midwest floods,
the California earthquakes and hurricanes in the Southeast. People came back from those
0
�disasters, with the nation's help. And so will people here.
I am pleased to announce today that we will be providing $26.4 million in funds to help
rebuild communities in Washington State, $10 million in Emergency Relief funds to repair
federal-aid highway damage caused by the flooding, and 2 million in other immediate
emergency fimds.
As we debate the role of government, these emergencies remind us: The era of big
government is over. But we can't go back to fend for yourself. We need a strong FEMA to
get help quickly to people who need it; we need an effective SBA, to get loans without red
tape to home- and business owners who must rebuild; we need an efficient Dept. of
Transportation (remember the quick rebuilding of L.A. freeways after the quake); we need a
quick-response Army Corps of Engineers. Here in Woodland, they did 14 days' worth of
draining water in 3 days.
This is the team that responds to crises of health, safety and humanity. That is why we want
them to be the best they can be.
Our nation is awed and inspired by the courage and resilience of our people in this disaster.
In my tour of flooded areas today, I saw how the cleanup is progressing. Today I want to
hear what else we can do to help the recovery here. Thank you.

Prepared Remarks

Idaho
February 14, 1996
'Bill TidbaW
[Acknowledgments from Advance]
The hearts of the nation go out to the people who have lost so much to the flood, in northern
Idaho.
Many familieMX^remain out of their homes, whole communities have been inundated by
the water. Roadshave been closed. Sawmills have been submerged. But I am here to tell the
victims, who have lost homes, possessions and even their jobs: You will get back on your
feet. We will work together to see that happen.
Already, the hard work has begun. The people of Idaho have come together in community,
reaching out to help each other. This is important if the recovery is to succeed. But more is
needed.
Recovering from a natural disaster of this scale cannot happen without a strong helping hand.
I said in my State of the Union address: The era of big government is over. But we must not
go back to fend for yourself. We are committed to help, just as we did in the Midwest
floods, the California earthquakes and hurricanes in the Southeast. People came back from
those disasters, with the help of government. And so will people here.
The disaster declaration I signed for Idaho includes 10 jurisdictions - 9 counties and the Nez
Perce Indian Reservation. And that means that residents and business owners in these areas
are eligible for aid.
In a disaster like this, there can be no doubt: We need a strong FEMA to get help quickly to
people who need it; we need an effective SBA, to get loans without red tape to home- and
business owners who must rebuild; we need an efficient Dept. of Transportation (remember
the quick rebuilding of L.A. freeways after the quake); we need a quick-response Army
Corps of Engineers.
They are all part of the team that responds to crises of health, safety and humanity. That is
why we want them to be the best they can be.
Our nation is awed and inspired by the courage and resilience of our people in this disaster.
In my tour of flooded areas today, I have seen how the cleanup is progressing and how much
work we need to do. Today I want to hear what else we can do to help the recovery here.
Thank you.

But officials say
high waters won't

Thti AcBQ«lal«d Press
COEUR D'ALENE — Preaidont
Clinton signed a Federal Emergency Proclamation late Sunday,
allowing federal aid and aflsist
ance for flood vicUma in North
Ideho.
But officisla naid the dajnago
caused by the high water* is far
from over. They estimated Sunday
that Lake Coeur d*Alene, aheork
ing Quod waters that have erased
eny semblance of a channel far
Hie Coeur d'Alone River, will not
cruet until Tuesday.
Until it daea, cooununitiea some
20 miles upotreajn wilt remain under water, and hutidreda of farrv
iliee will remain out of their
homes or cut off from the reet of
the state.
"It's going down a littla bit in
some of the emaller oommunitiee,
but not a lot. It's gradually subsiding, but not enough to raally matter," said Darren Blagbum of the
#t(\iif Rureau of l)iRn«tt»i- fleryicos.

has taken in will start flowing
down the Spokane River. That
should relieve upstream pressure
that pushed the Coeur d'Alene
River as much as a mile out of its
channel and almost entirely over
homes in Cataldo.
Officials will not be able to gsaess the damage Until the water
receded, Kootenai County Disaster Services Director B i l l
Schwartz said.
"We have a force of water out
there that we simply cannot do
unsihing about," Schwartz said.

AMERICORPS MEMBERS ANSWER THE CALL FOR HELP IN
WAKE OF NORTHWEST FLOODS
Members from across the coimtry provide disaster relief to
Oregon and Washington
Over 100 AmeriCorps members from as far away as Maryland are combining
forces with the American Red Cross to provide emergency and long-term
flood relief to the hard-hit areas of Washington and Oregon.
AmeriCorps*NCCC members from San Diego, California and Perry Point,
Maryland and the Rapid Response Corps from Los Angeles, California
shipped out at a moment's notice to join AmeriCorps members from
Washington's Northwest Service Academy to battle the flooding. Members
are providing immediate disaster relief sandbagging, evacuating residents,
providing transportation services for other aid organizations, as well as
providing food, shelter and blankets to displaced families. After immediate
needs are met, AmeriCorps members will assist residents with long-term
relief such as damage assessment and clean-up activities.
Some of the AmeriCorps*NCCC members involved in this effort were
specifically requested as a result of their accomplishments in the recent
Western Maryland floods.
AmeriCorps members have responded to recent disasters, including the
Oklahoma City bombing, forest fires in Idaho, the Northridge earthquake and
floods in Texas, Louisiana and California.
AmeriCorps, launched in September, 1994, currently has more than 25,000
members at work in over 1,100 communities across America. In return for
their service, AmeriCorps members receive $4,725 to help pay for education
or to pay back student loans.
