White gets award for Katrina leadership
– reported by the Houston Chronicle
ouston Mayor Bill White said he was grateful for the public service award he received here on Thursday for helping victims of Hurricane Katrina — especially since he was girding to meet with federal officials about hurricane aid.
The American Jewish Committee granted the award at its annual conference. White was warmly introduced by Houston civic leader and former committee board member Jack Lapin.
