Vice President to Travel to Egypt and Saudi Arabia

The President has asked the Vice President to travel to Egypt and Saudi Arabia next week. These visits were originally scheduled as part of the Vice President's travel to the region in December, but were postponed because he had to return to Washington to vote on the budget.

The Vice President will meet with President Mubarak of Egypt and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, January 17, 2006.
