Public Assistance on June 6, 2003, and subsequent amendments closing

Arkansas constitute a disaster area due to damages caused by severe 
storms, tornadoes, and flooding that occurred on May 2, 2003 and 
continuing through June 10, 2003: Benton, Chicot, Cleburne, Columbia, 
Conway, Craighead, Cross, Crittenden, Faulkner, Fulton, Jackson, 
Lonoke, Nevada, Perry, Phillips, Poinsett, St. Francis, White, and 
Woodruff. Applications for loans for physical damage as a result of 
this disaster may be filed until the close of business on August 19, 
2003 and for economic injury until the close of business on March 22, 
2004 at the address listed below or other locally announced locations:
