Barbara Bush: Things Working Out "Very Well" for Poor Evacuees from New Orleans:
The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone I’ve talked to wants to move to Houston."

Here is audio of her comments.
