WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will fly to Haiti on Saturday to get a firsthand look at the earthquake relief effort as well as to help evacuate some Americans caught up in the disaster.
Clinton, who cut short a trip to the Asia-Pacific region after Tuesday's quake, said on Friday she and U.S. Agency for International Development Director Rajiv Shah would meet Haitian President Rene Preval as well as U.S. relief workers.
"We will also be conveying very directly and personally to the Haitian people our long-term unwavering support, solidarity and sympathies," Clinton told a news briefing.

Clinton said details of her trip were being worked out but that she planned to bring relief supplies as well as helping to evacuate some Americans.
"I will be bringing out some American citizens who are waiting for evacuation, so there are some very tangible reasons for this," Clinton said.
She said every effort would be made not to allow her visit to interfere with the relief effort.
"I will not be leaving the airport area, so I will not be using assets like automobiles that should be better used for transporting rescue workers or medical personnel," she said.
Clinton said the trip would give her and her team a firsthand look at how the relief effort was unfolding, which she could then convey to other world leaders, adding the United States backed the idea of a donor conference at some point in the future.
"I've spoken to a number of foreign ministers and heads of state who are asking questions about how things are operating and what they can do to contribute."

The *POOF* has gone right out of that hairdo.
They don’t need moral support, they need food and medicine and shelter, not hot air.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will fly to Haiti on Saturday to get a firsthand look at the earthquake relief effort as well as to help evacuate some Americans caught up in the disaster, and perhaps do a little
duty-free shopping at the airport.
Better her than Obozo I guess.
(the photo op, not the poof)
The “Poof” has gone right out of that face...
...hope she gets “snippy” with a reporter after he asks what has Bill raised so far?
So people who should be working on logistics and command and control will have to drop everything they are doing to escort her around. I have never been a fan of politicians touring disaster areas in the middle of the relief effort. President Bush did the right thing staying out of the way in New Orleans.
Yes... let’s send more useless perps to Haiti along with 15,634 Urnalist and their camera crews down there flooding the airport so the real saviors can’t land...
I wonder if she will be walking around with her "Alice in Wonderland, gee, I've never seen anything like this before smile...
She’s not leaving the airport area, so why go?
it’s what the left believes in...image over substance
She should bring the impeached First Black US President with her - he could provide some immoral support.
.
and when will that useless hActor show up in his canoe like he did in New Orleans after Katrina...
[The *POOF* has gone right out of that hairdo. ]
Give her a powerdrill and she’d be truly butch.
[..and just what in the sam hill is she going to do? Can she dig, sniff out corpses, anything?]
Actually, I think the answer to that is affirmative good buddy.
You know what the old saying is. If you can’t pitch in and help, then get out of the way.
Okay, I’m no fan or supporter of Hillary...but if I had a relative there trying to get out or God forbid, missing, I would want help from the head of the State department.
She better watch out for snippers on the way in.
