I haven't discussed that with him in the midst of all the response and recovery efforts that are ongoing with Katrina. … Looting will not be tolerated. The president made that clear that it should be zero tolerance when it comes to looters. And that's why we are in close communication with Governor Blanco and other officials in Louisiana to address the law enforcement and security concerns on the ground in New Orleans. And that's why you have National Guard deployed there, additional National Guard going in there to help address some of the security concerns.
