Red Cross Looking for a Loan

Hurricane Katrina relief efforts have drained the American Red Cross' Disaster Relief Fund. They're seeking a $350 million loan to cover costs -- the first time in its 124-year history the Red Cross has ever had to seek a loan.

The Red Cross figured it needed about $2 billion to respond to this year's Gulf Coast hurricanes. They raised $1.3 billion and have spent almost all of it.
