The national president of the American Red Cross, Marsha Evans, first made the request to undertake the operation during a visit to the state on September 1, three days after Hurricane Katrina struck, a local Red Cross chapter official said.

This is not consistent with what Major Garrett at Fox News reported. Major Garrett says that the Red Cross was denied access to New Orleans on Monday, August 29.

There is a world of difference between August 29 and September 1.

I posted on 8/30 that:

……In fact there is a convoy of 50? Trucks full of relief supplies out of Dallas once again awaiting destination instructions. (Fuzzy as to where I read/heard this) ……

This may very well be the supplies that Major Garrett was talking about.

Once again the media gets it wrong.

They are STILL not allowed into New Orleans by state officials.

I noticed that also.

Exactly. I saw Red Cross President Marsha Evans herself say on camera that they were ready to go in literally after the storm blew through. But state officials refused the Red Cross permission to enter the city. See my Post No. 80 below.

You are exactly right. I have the exact words from the interview in Post 82.
