President Clinton will visit Haiti on March 31 to meet with U.S. and allied forces who will be turning over the peacekeeping mission to the United Nations that day.
Clinton will meet with President Jean Bertrand Aristide to review economic, security and political progress since the U.S.-led force intervened to restore democracy last fall, the White House said Thursday.The Haiti visit will be at the end of a 31/2-day domestic trip for Clinton to lead a series of three regional economic conferences. The first will be March 29 in Atlanta, press secretary Mike McCurry said.
He did not have other details, but he said the president was going to Tallahassee, Fla., on March 30 to meet with community leaders and others to "press his case for the middle-class bill of rights," which is the president's economic proposal to help the middle class.
