Coming up at the White House and beyond...
It's U.N. time again.
President Bush will spend the first days of next week in New York City, attending the opening session of the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. The speech on Tuesday--his eighth to the world body--will provide an opportunity for him to address the role of multinational organizations in evolving world diplomacy.
He's managing to squeeze in a Republican fundraising stop in New Jersey on his way to the city--and another one, in Florida, on the way back to Washington. New York to Washington, via Florida? That's politics.
On the sidelines, there will be a meeting with the new president of Pakistan and then, later in the week in Washington, he will meet separately with the president of the Palestinian Authority and the president of Lebanon.
