Andrew H. Card Jr. Card
Testifying before a Senate committee, Michael D. Brown said he notified a senior White House official, probably Joe Hagin, the deputy White House chief of staff, but might have been Andrew H. Card Jr., the chief of staff, on the day the hurricane hit to report that it had turned into his worst nightmare and New Orleans was flooding. At first he could not recall whether he used those words but then later he said that he was sure Mr. Hagin or Mr. Card knew it and that he'd have told one of them about the breach during the conversation and that he could not recall whether he told the White House aide that he needed any particular help, at a time when the city was flooding, thousands were packed into the Superdome without adequate supplies and others were beginning to climb to roofs or attics to avoid drowning.
