President Bush will be in Rhode Island this coming Thursday -- his first visit to the state of his presidency -- a White House spokesman confirmed for the first time today. The spokesman would not say yet whether the president's visit will be to the Naval War College in Newport -- the location it's been rumored he is going to visit. But more details are expected to be forthcoming over the weekend. Cmdr. Karen Sellers, the War College’s public affairs officer, yesterday would not comment on talk that Mr. Bush will be in Newport on June 28 as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Naval War College’s Naval Command College, a school for military officers from around the world. The five-day symposium and reunion for the 1,600 alumni of the Naval Command College will be held June 25-29. An exhaustive schedule for the celebration posted online by the War College lists in detail each day’s events, including presentations, speeches and meals. No events, however, had been scheduled for next Thursday. Mark Stahl, coordinator for the Rhode Island Community Coalition for Peace, sent out e-mails this week announcing plans for a demonstration. The reunion also coincides with the arrival of the Tall Ships to Newport. A flotilla is expected to be sailing into and around Newport Harbor -- which the Naval War College overlooks -- from Wednesday through Sunday, July 1. -- Journal staff writer Alex Kuffner
