WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said on Sunday he will travel to Haiti on Monday, his first visit since a powerful earthquake devastated the country, to meet with government officials and the international community.

"As U.N. Special Envoy for Haiti, I feel a deep obligation to the Haitian people to visit the country and meet with President (Rene) Preval to ensure our response continues to be coordinated and effective," Clinton said in a statement, adding that he would also deliver much-needed emergency supplies.

4. And after his experience with the tsunami, I'm sure his assessment

will be very accurate and invaluable. I'm so glad he's on this.
