"Administration sources here said it was too early to suggest a date for Baker's travel to India. In all probability, he will first visit Russia, France, Germany, the UK and the Gulf Arab states, which are all owed the bulk of Iraq's debt of about $125 billion.

Baker, 73, insisted when he was appointed presidential envoy that he will report solely to the President. He was secretary of state during the 1991 Gulf war and is expected to deal with more than just Iraq's debt, though publicly that is his brief for the moment. If Baker meddles in other aspects of the Iraqi occupation -- as he is widely expected to do -- he will substantially undercut Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld, the secretaries of state and defence."
