"KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Al Gore helped airlift some 270 Katrina
evacuees on two private charters from New Orleans, acting at the urging
of a doctor who saved the life of the former vice president's son.

Gore criticized the Bush administration's slow response to Katrina in a
speech Friday in San Francisco, but refused to be interviewed about the
mercy missions he financed and flew on Sept. 3 and 4."

FEMA Director Brown Relieved Of Hurricane Responsibilities

September 9, 2005

By KOMO Staff & News Services

NEW ORLEANS - Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael
Brown, the principal target of harsh criticism of the Bush
administration's response to Hurricane Katrina, was relieved of his
onsite command Friday.

He will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, who was
overseeing New Orleans relief, recovery and rescue efforts, Homeland
Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced.

Earlier, Brown confirmed the switch. Asked if he was being made a
scapegoat for a federal relief effort that has drawn widespread and
sharp criticism, Brown told The Associated Press after a long pause: "By
the press, yes. By the president, no."

"Michael Brown has done everything he possibly could to coordinate the
federal response to this unprecedented challenge," Chertoff told
reporters in Baton Rouge, La. Chertoff sidestepped a question on whether
the move was the first step toward Brown's leaving FEMA.

But a source close to Brown, speaking on condition of anonymity, said
the FEMA director had been considering leaving after the hurricane
season ended in November and that Friday's action virtually assures his
departure.

Brown has been under fire and facing calls for his resignation because
of the administration's slow response to the magnitude of the hurricane.
On Thursday, questions were raised about whether he padded his resume to
exaggerate his previous emergency management background.

Less than an hour before Brown's removal came to light, White House
press secretary Scott McClellan said Brown had not resigned and the
president had not asked for his resignation.
