    Pursuant to this emergency declaration, you are also authorized 
to provide emergency assistance, as you deem appropriate under Title 
V of the Stafford Act at 75 percent Federal funding.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the authority vested in the 
Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Executive 
Order 12148, I hereby appoint Graham L. Nance of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this
