President Bush has asked Secretary Rice to travel to India this week in the
wake of the terror attacks that killed nearly 200 people, including 6
American citizens. Secretary Rice will depart tonight on already scheduled
travel to London. She will attend the NATO meeting on Tuesday, and then
proceed to India, arriving in New Dehli on Wednesday.

Secretary Rice's visit to India is a further demonstration of the United
States' commitment to stand in solidarity with the people of India as we
all work together to hold these extremists accountable.
