President Bush will visit New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast on Wednesday to check out the recovery from Hurricane Katrina. The White House said Friday that Bush is expected to deliver an afternoon speech in New Orleans, then travel to the Mississippi Coast for dinner with community leaders.

Katrina struck August 29, 2005, flooding 80 percent of New Orleans and wiping out Mississippi coastal communities. At least 1,800 people died.

The federal government has poured billions of dollars into the rebuilding effort. Local officials plan commemorative ceremonies August 29.
