Preparing for the Bush Visit
[Jerusalem Post] Ruth Eglash - According to Sheldon Ritz, director of delegations at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the president is set to stay in the $2,600-a-night Royal Suite - although he will receive a discount reserved for visiting dignitaries. All of the King David's rooms, as well as its public areas, have been booked, Ritz says. And White House staff and media have booked all the rooms in the Dan Panorama around the corner. White House support staff, U.S. civil servants, State Department officials, Secret Service agents, technicians and even some marines have already arrived at the hotel to prepare for the visit and to secure the surrounding area. "They even sent robots into the sewers to make sure there are no surprises down there," Ritz says.
