2. US Dems urge easing bankruptcy for Katrina victims
U.S. Democratic lawmakers said on Thursday they would try to protect Hurricane Katrina victims who may have lost everything from being penalized by an overhaul of bankruptcy laws that goes into effect next month.

The ranking Democrat on the House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee, Michigan Rep. John Conyers, and three other House members pledged to introduce legislation shortly to provide flexibility for victims of natural disasters in bankruptcy proceedings.
