STATEMENT BY
AMBASSADOR ZALMAY KHALlLZAD

Hurricane Katrina Relief

September 10, 2005

On behalf of the United States, I wish to thank Prime Minister al-Ja'afari, the-lraqt Red
Crescent Society, and the Iraqi people for the sympathy expressed by them for the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. I also wish to express gratitude for their decision to donate one million dollars to
support relief operations for this unprecedented natural disaster. Despite the great suffering inflicted
by terrorists and the difficulties Iraqis are experiencing during their transition to democracy, Iraq's
leaders and people have shown their profound humanity and their solidarity with the people of
America's gulf coast states.

The mission of the United States here in Iraq is to help the Iraqi nation to stand on its own feet
after decades of dictatorship. Iraq's action in reaching out to help Americas who are SUffering sends
a clear message that the United States and the new Iraq share common values. They are partners
standing together in common cause. This expression of solidarity will never be forgotten.
