"Brown is being sent back to Washington from Baton Rouge, where he was the primary official overseeing the federal government's response to the relief effort.
Now, he will be replaced by Vice Admiral Thad W. Allen, chief of staff of the U.S. Coast Guard, who was overseeing New Orleans relief and rescue efforts, according to The Associated Press.
At the press conference Friday, Brown did not respond to questions about his departure from Louisiana.
Instead, Chertoff stepped in to address the issue, pointing out that Katrina was not FEMA's only responsibility.
"FEMA has the responsibility not only to participate in this recovery effort, it's got a lot of other responsibilities. We've got tropical storms and hurricanes brewing in the ocean," Chertoff said.
"And while it's very important to focus an enormous amount of attention and effort to what is going on here, we cannot afford to let our guard down with respect to other things that might happen."
-------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, Brown is such a can-do kind of guy that they don't want him to get distracted from FEMA larger role. There's just no point getting angry any longer. This is all some kind of cosmic comedy being performed for an audience of aliens. We may as well join in the laughter. . . .
