On Wednesday, President Bush announced the United States, Australia, Japan and India would lead the international response to the catastrophe. It remains unclear whether this effort will conflict with the United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs which traditionally oversees such massive relief efforts. Bush made the announcement while on vacation in Crawford Texas. It marked his first public comment since the earthquake struck more than 72 hours earlier. During a brief press conference he announced the U.S. would send $35 billion in initial aid–however he meant to say $35 million.
