What will Bush do today? [originaltext] As criticism raged over the federal g

As criticism raged over the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina, President Bush returned to the region yesterday, and Army engineers patched up two levees that had been breached by the storm and cautiously began pumping water out of New Orleans.
    Today Mr. Bush will meet at the White House with representatives from national voluntary and charitable groups, and this afternoon make a statement in the Rose Garden on efforts to help students and school districts displaced by Katria.
    Mr. Bush comforted victims on Monday in Poplarville, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana., but he found himself ensnared in a dispute with Louisiana’s Democratic governor, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, who learned of Mr. Bush’s trip from news reports. "There’s a lot of work to be done," Mr. Bush told a group of mostly black victims at a makeshift shelter, the Bethany World Prayer Center, in Baton Rouge. He said that Americans’ response to the disaster had been "amazing" and that "this country is going to be committed to doing whatever it takes to help people get back on their feet."
