A Texas congressman has opened his home to a Louisiana family who fled Hurricane Katrina.

U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards says he wouldn't be able to sleep knowing he ad a vacant home in Waco, where there were children of evacuees.

Edwards told The Dallas Morning News that his wife, Lea Ann, suggested loaning out their three-bedroom home. The couple and their two children spend the school year in Washington

Edwards says he'll stay with in-laws of friends when he returns to Waco on weekends
