St. Louis – President Bush will visit St. Louis on Thursday to tour a high-tech company and make a speech about the federal budget.
Bush will visit the headquarters of St. Louis-based World Wide Technology Inc., one of the nation's top-grossing black-owned businesses.
A White House spokesman says Bush will use the speech to call on Congress to send him a budget that "rejects wasteful and unnecessary spending."
After his speech at the company, Bush will attend a fundraising luncheon for the Republican National Committee at a private home.
Both events are closed to the public and the fundraiser will be closed to the media.
