Statement by the President
I am pleased to announce today that the Secretary of the Department
of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson is releasing $150 million
in Low Income Home Energy Assistance funding. This additional funding
will provide much needed help for families struggling with rising
heating costs. This new money, combined with emergency funds released in
January, will help keep many Americans warm during this cold
winter.
