Vice President Dick Cheney declared Thursday that much progress is being made in a disaster relief effort he termed "very impressive."
Cheney's plane took him on a course over heavily damaged houses as he arrived to this Gulf Coast town destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
After meeting with state and local officials, Cheney and his wife, Lynne, toured a particularly damaged part of the town.
The vice president told reporters he was struck by the "very positive, can-do" attitude of Mississippians toward the help they are getting.
