Democrats urge student-loan help

Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski of Pennsylvania and 20 fellow Democrats sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson and Education Secretary Margaret Spellings urging them to act.
“We urge you to work without delay . . . to address this problem before it significantly decreases access to higher- education opportunities for students and their families,” the letter said.
