Bush will visit New York tomorrow

President Bush accepted an invitation from Gov George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to observe the damage in New York; he will arrive Friday afternoon.

Bush says he has directed Attorney General John Ashcroft to expedite payment of benefits for firefighters and police officers injured or killed.

Meanwhile, rescuers in New York are searching for a survivor who contacted authorities via cell phone early Thursday morning. The survivor is believed to be in the basement of the northern World Trade Center tower.
