Romney Plans Trip to Israel
Posted August 8, 2005
       Gov. Mitt Romney is planning a six-day trip to Israel next month, a trip his aides described this week as a trade mission. It will be Romney's first out-of-country visit as governor since taking office three years ago. The trip is sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which has arranged free trips for members of Congress and other elected officials to meet with top Israeli government officials, political leaders, and representatives of Palestinian groups.
