Bush to Deliver Televised Speech to Joint Session
President Bush will deliver a nationally televised address to a joint session of Congress at 6 p.m. PDT next Tuesday, two days after his talks in Helsinki with Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the White House announced Wednesday.
It did not indicate the subject matter, but Bush is expected to discuss the Persian Gulf situation.
White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater said the congressional invitation was extended to Bush by House Speaker Thomas S. Foley (D-Wash.) and Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell (D-Me.) at a White House luncheon.
