Clinton to visit Haiti on Saturday, inspect damage

None

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is heading to Haiti to inspect earthquake damage and confer with Haitian and other officials on how to speed humanitarian aid to thousands of sufferers and further shape the recovery effort.

 

At the White House, President Barack Obama scheduled an Oval Office meeting Saturday with the two former presidents who have agreed to spearhead private fundraising efforts for Haiti, Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton will be the highest-ranking US official to visit Haiti since Tuesday's devastating earthquake, which the Red Cross estimates killed 50,000 people.
