WASHINGTON - President Bush and his wife will attend Pope John Paul II's funeral, the White House said Monday

Press secretary Scott McClellan said the White House would announce the rest of the delegation that will attend with Bush later on Monday. He said with all the countries planning to send high-level representatives to the funeral, the United States will keep its delegation small.

He said the Bushes probably will leave Wednesday for the Friday funeral, although plans were still being finalized.

McClellan said Bush will reschedule plans for a Thursday trip to South Carolina to push for change to the Social Security system. ...............

Bush will still host Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at his Texas ranch next Monday, McClellan said.
