Ambassador Timken and Chancellor Schröder


Chancellor Schroeder and Ambassador Timken.

September 9, 2005.

Ambassador Timken met with Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to thank the German people and the German government for the generous offers of assistance in response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Speaking to the press afterwards, the Ambassador said that because of the massive scale of the disaster, not all international offers of assistance can be accepted immediately but that German contributions are already being utilized. The State Department is working with local authorities to receive offered assistance as rapidly as possible.
