WASHINGTON — The White House announced Thursday that First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Tipper Gore, wife of Vice President Al Gore, will visit storm-ravaged Central America.
The first lady will expand a previously scheduled Nov. 16 trip to the region to include stops in damaged communities, and the vice president’s wife will accompany a shipment of supplies there Nov. 10-11.
The $70-million U.S. aid package will pay for at least 11,200 tons of wheat and other food, Defense Department supplies including medical provisions, transportation and search-and-rescue efforts.
