Bush Plans Week of Meetings With Advisers NewsMax.com Wires CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush plans a series of meetings next week with his top advisers to discuss his agenda and priorities, the White House announced Friday.
Bush usually summons his advisers to his Texas ranch each summer for a day of discussions about administration policies. But the president cut back his time in Texas this summer amid conflict abroad and political tensions at home, so the meetings are being held around the Washington area instead.
Monday, Bush planned to travel to the Pentagon to meet with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other top military advisers and then have lunch with what the White House described as experts on Iraq, although a list of attendees was not released. Then he was to head to the State Department to meet with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Tuesday, Bush was heading to the National Counterterrorism Center in McLean, Va., for a briefing and lunch with his homeland security and counterterrorism teams. The long-scheduled meeting is not a reaction to the recently discovered plot to blow up flights between Britain and the United States, but the investigation will no doubt be part of their discussion.

Bush's meeting with economic advisers was scheduled for Friday at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
The president was breaking from the adviser meetings midweek. On Wednesday, he was to travel to York, Pa., to talk about the economy and raise money for Republican gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann. Thursday, he planned to sign major pension legislation designed to assure American workers that the pensions they have been promised will be there when they retire.
