"(Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will travel to Egypt and Tunisia next week, becoming the most senior U.S. official to visit the region after popular revolts toppled U.S.-allied governments in both countries. ...... Clinton's visit will allow her to personally assess the situation in Egypt, where the Obama administration gave strong support to protesters who ultimately forced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, long a staunch U.S. ally, in February...... Clinton told the House of Representatives appropriations committee that "We are standing with the Libyan people as they brave bombs and bullets to demand that Gaddafi must go now, We are reaching out to the opposition inside and outside of Libya. I will be meeting with some of those figures both here in the United States and when I travel next week to discuss what more the United States and others can do."..."
