Bush, who returned to the White House on Sunday after a holiday vacation at his Texas ranch, will get reports from the delegation, but does not now intend to go to the region.

"These are nations that are spending their time and attention now delivering relief to their citizens, and a visit by the president of the United States, with all that entails, would be a diversion of their attention from providing support," Powell told CNN's "Late Edition."
"So we don't need a big, grandstanding event right now, which would essentially, no matter if it's only two capitals, be a significant diversion," he said.

Jeb Bush, who has overseen Florida's recovery from hurricanes, said before leaving Miami, "I know the president has deep concerns about what has happened and the fact that I am his brother symbolically may underscore his deep concern."
