 CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush defended American generosity Wednesday, even as his administration figures out how to pay for more help beyond the $35 million it has already promised to tsunami victims in Asia.

In his first remarks since the weekend disaster that so far has killed more than 76,000, Bush — like some in his administration previously — took umbrage at a U.N. official’s suggestion that the world’s richest nations were “stingy,” and indicated much more is expected to be spent to help the victims.

“Well, I felt like the person who made that statement was very misguided and ill-informed,” Bush said from his Texas ranch. “We’re a very generous, kindhearted nation, and, you know, what you’re beginning to see is a typical response from America.”
