President Bush said Tuesday that he was grateful that Hurricane Gustav was nowhere near as destructive as Hurricane Katrina.
“We are thankful that the damage in New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast was less than many had feared,” Bush said in remarks prepared for delivery Tuesday to the Republican National Convention.
Earlier in the day, Bush said that while it’s too early to assess damage to the nation’s energy infrastructure from Gustav, Congress needs to lift the ban on drilling for oil and natural gas on the Outer Continental Shelf.
