Overview: The United States, along with the rest of the world, has responded in a major way to the tsunami disaster in South and Southeast Asia.  The State Department reaction was virtually immediate and  the United States has currently pledged $350 million in disaster relief, while providing critical equipment to help provide for the needy in the early stages of the crisis.  As the impacted countries move forward, what are the next steps that need to be taken?  What are U.S. plans for dealing with needs now, three months from now, six months from now?  How has the tsunami impacted U.S. policies and relations with countries in the region?  Please join us for a briefing on these and other issues with Ambassador Huhtala, who has recently returned from a tour of the afflicted region.
