    Letter to Governor Frank Keating on Disaster Assistance to Oklahoma City
    April 19, 1995

    Dear Governor Keating:
        I have declared an emergency under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
    Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the Stafford Act) for the city of
    Oklahoma City in the State of Oklahoma due to the explosion at the
    Federal courthouse in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 in the State of
    Oklahoma. I have authorized Federal relief and emergency assistance in
    the affected area.
        Emergency assistance under Title V of the Stafford Act will be
    provided. Assistance under this emergency declaration will be provided
    at 100 percent Federal funding.
        The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will coordinate
    Federal assistance efforts and designate specific areas eligible for
    such assistance. The Federal Coordinating Officer will be Mr. Dell Greer
    of FEMA. He will consult with you and assist in the execution of the
    FEMA-State Agreement governing the expenditure of Federal funds.
        Sincerely,

                                                                Bill Clinton

    Note: This letter was attached to a statement by Press Secretary Mike
    McCurry announcing disaster assistance to Oklahoma City, OK.
