         The Honorable Thomas Davis
         Chairman
         Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the
         Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina
         House of Representatives

         Subject: Statement by Comptroller General David M. Walker on GAO's Preliminary
         Observations Regarding Preparedness and Response to Hurricanes Katrina and
         Rita

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         As you know, GAO has undertaken a body of work to address federal, state, and local
         preparations for, response to, and recovery from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
         Enclosed is a statement for the record of GAO's preliminary findings.

         GAO will continue work on a wide range of issues relating to the preparation,
         response, recovery, and rebuilding efforts related to the hurricanes. We expect to
         provide Congress with more detailed findings, with a comprehensive summary of
         what went well and why, what did not go well and why, and what specific changes, if
         any, are called for in the National Response Plan. If you or your staff has any
         questions about this statement, please contact Norman J. Rabkin, Managing Director
         for Homeland Security and Justice Issues, at (202) 512-8777 or rabkiun:dgao gov.
         Sincerely yours,





         David M. Walker
         Comptroller General
         of the United States

         Enclosure
