Daniel Feldman and Mark Ward on U.S. Flood Relief Assistance to Pakistan

Washington -- MR. CROWLEY: Good afternoon and welcome to the Department of State. We thought we would start off the briefing spending a little time focused on the situation in Pakistan. We haven't updated you for a little while on the - our ongoing efforts to help Pakistan with the relief and eventually reconstruction of Pakistan in light of the devastating floods from earlier this summer. Mark Ward of USAID is here, just came back from Pakistan so he can give you the latest update on what we see on the ground. And then Dan Feldman, Deputy to Richard Holbrooke is here. We've got some meetings coming up later this week and also next week with the next round of the Strategic Dialogue between Pakistan and the United States where on - in addition to a very extensive agenda that we have working with Pakistan, we've obviously added one more stream to that agenda which is dealing with this challenging situation in light of the floods.
