Clinton, Bush here today
Two US ex-presidents George Bush Senior and Bill Clinton will arrive in Sri Lanka this evening as part of the US effort to raise millions of dollars for tsunami victims here and elsewhere.

The two ex-presidents making their first visit to Sri Lanka will meet President Chandrika Kumaratunga and other leaders before touring tsunami-devastated areas in Matara. They began their tsunami tour yesterday with a visit to a Thai village which had been wiped out from the map but is being rebuilt now with a blend of tears and hope. The two former presidents were appointed by the present President George W. Bush to raise private funds for the tsunami victims.
