    In the expenditure of Federal funds for debris removal, distribution 
of supplies, reconstruction, and other major disaster or emergency 
assistance activities which may be carried out by contract or agreement 
with private organizations, firms, or individuals, preference shall be 
given, to the extent feasible and practicable, to those organizations, 
firms, and individuals residing or doing business primarily in the area 
affected by such major disaster or emergency. This shall not be 
considered to restrict the use of Department of Defense resources in the 
provision of major disaster assistance under the Stafford Act.
