If you are waiting for you passport application to be processed, you may experience a delay due to Katrina. New Orleans was a processing facility for a large number of states. I received a card from Charleston saying that the proccessing time will be slower. I went into the passport information center at www.travel.state.gov and saw the following:
_______
