I am not sure that the refusal is true. Rice has commented that no offer for assistance will be refused. We might have said right now is not the best time.

State EOC just asked Pelican base if food or water had been delivered to the Convention Center today.
Pelican Base (don't know who this is) states they don't know and need to confirm.
That could be. I posted a link earlier today from a Russian news source that said we turned them down, but it may have been that we said not right now.
I believe that's what I read in a news article earlier.
