Congressman Weldon gets a big thumbs up from me for the last line of this quote in bold. Way To Go!
It is encouraging to think that individually, a Member of Congress still has the power to do something good and decent. While Wilbur Bush was strumming guitar and playing golf, this dude was ordering up drone aircraft from private companies.

Hi-tech search drones to help New Orleans rescue
Fri Sep 2, 2005 5:48 PM ET
BATON ROUGE, La., Sept 2 (Reuters) - Unmanned remote-controlled airplanes used in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars may be deployed to find people trapped in New Orleans' buildings by Hurricane Katrina's flood waters, a U.S. congressman said on Friday.
Five Silver Fox "unmanned aerial vehicles," or UAVs, equipped with thermal imaging technology to detect the body heat of storm survivors, are en route to the crippled city, Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Curt Weldon said.
Weldon told reporters in Baton Rouge that he had bypassed government bureaucracy to obtain the drones from a private company to be used in search and rescue operations in New Orleans, scene of one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history.
