Senior White House aides are planning to record notes from President Bush’s trip to the Middle East in what White House spokeswoman Dana Perino called “just a little bit of a blog.”

Perino announced the creation of “Trip Notes from the Middle East” in a briefing with reporters prior to the president’s departure.

“This is new to us,” Perino said. “We encourage you to log on and to check back often to read some of the updates that the staff will be posting throughout the trip.”
