Iowa Governor Chet Culver (R) puts his arm around U.S. President George W. Bush as they walk to Air Force One at Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, June 19, 2008. Bush visited Iowa to survey flood damage in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and meet with emergency workers and state and local officials. The $4 billion balance in the federal government's disaster relief fund should be "more than enough" to deal with the flood disaster in the Midwest, the White House said on Thursday, as Bush surveyed the region's worst flooding in 15 years.
