THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release February 21, 2000

              PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
                           ON LIHEAP PROGRAM

                           The Roosevelt Room

THE PRESIDENT: Rising oil prices have brought hardship to many families struggling to pay heating bills. I've released $295 million in emergency funds to help low-income families cope with home heating cost. But many struggling families aren't aware they qualify for aid. That's why I've asked states to help make sure they reach as many eligible families as possible. To find out if you're eligible for help with heating bills, contact your state government, or call 1-800-735-8004.
