Bush asks employees to donate,
some blood banks at capacity
WASHINGTpN (AP) — President Bush is
asking his staff to give blood to aid victims of
Tuesday’s terrorist attack. But around the
country, many blood banks flooded with
donors said their supplies are at capacity —
and urged would-be donors to come back in a
few weeks.
“The areas hit hardest have received plenty of
blood and continue to receive blood types that are
most in demand, so new donors are not necessary
right now,” said Jeanne Dariotis, president of
America’s Blood Centers, which supplies half the
nation’s blood supply.
However, the American Red Cross supplies the
other half of the blood supply and said it still was
encouraging donations Wednesday, as well as
future donations.
The Red Cross said so many donations have
flooded in that it will begin the unusual step of
freezing some blood so none is wasted. Blood typ
ically lasts only 42 days, but because donated
blood typically is used up so quickly, freezing is
ran extremely unusual step.
One concern is that in a few weeks, donations
will drop and blood again will be needed as hos-
p.iitals restock supplies used up in treating attack
s.urvivors — who may need repeated surgeries
for weeks or months. So many blood banks
urged Americans to schedule donation appoint
ments in the next few weeks, or leave their
phone number so blood banks can call when
they need the donation.
A day after terrorists struck the Pentagon, the
World Trade Towers in New York and a plane in
Pennsylvania, the White House issued a memo
saying a blood donation center was opened in the
Indian Treaty Room of the Old Executive Office
Building next door to the White House.
“The president and first lady ask you to assist
those in need by donating blood today,” read a
memo issued by the White House management
office.
