No date fixed for Clinton's India visit

C K Arora in Washington

US officials have said that no date has yet been fixed for President Bill Clinton's visit to India, thus clarifying a report suggesting that he will be in New Delhi in February next year.

The report was attributed to Deputy US Trade Representative Susan Esserman who is visiting India next week on an official assignment.

Later, a USTR spokesperson said Esserman had been misquoted about the timing of the president's visit. The USTR would not comment on the trip by the president before the official announcement by the White House, the spokesperson added.

The issue also came up at the White House press briefing and its spokesman Joe Lockhart said, ''I have no travel announcements to make for next year.''
