MR. DUFFY: Normal briefers in the National Security Council, along with Secretary Powell, Mark.

Q Apparently the U.N. emergency relief coordinator today called the U.S. and other governments stingy for spending only a tenth -- or two-tenths of a percent of GNP for international assistance. Any response to that?

MR. DUFFY: Well, as we all know, the United States is one of the largest contributors -- in fact, I think it's the largest contributor to international relief and aid efforts, not only through the government, but through charitable organizations. The American people are very giving. We'll continue to be that and we'll be a leading partner in this effort that lies ahead.

Press Gaggle by Trent Duffy This is apparently the source of the "stingy" comment
