US delegation views slow recovery from Katrina nearly 2 years after storm

NEW ORLEANS: U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday led a Democratic congressional delegation on a tour of areas still struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina nearly two years after the storm, trying to determine where more federal help is needed.

Katrina and its aftermath were a "challenge to the conscience of the country in a huge way," Pelosi said.
