[0:09] >> President Bush promises more help for
[0:11] hurricane ravaged areas of Florida and
[0:14] Louisiana.
[0:15] And this base, which escaped Pentagon
[0:18] cutbacks, but not Hurricane Andrew, will

[0:28] This is CNN's Prime News with Bernard

[1:41] criticism that the administration
[1:42] reacted too slowly in the wake of
[1:44] Hurricane Andrew. This time he brought
[1:46] welcome news to the devastated area.
