Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, an outspoken critic of FEMA's response to
the hurricane, told CNN the supply giveaway was "just a shame."

"It's just another example of the failings of the federal bureaucracy,"
Landrieu said last week. She wrote Homeland Security Secretary Michael
Chertoff to request an explanation.

FEMA Administrator David Paulison on Sunday defended the agency's decision,
telling CNN that Louisiana had been offered some of the stockpiles, but that
state officials had declined the goods.
