DONALD DUCKS DOWN UNDER

U.S. Secretary Of Defense Donald Rumsfeld will be in Adelaide from November 16-18, it is believed.

Secretary of the Rumsfeld Rice Reception Commitee Ms Jeannie Lucas says that venues for the visit will include the Adelaide Convention Centre and Town Hall.

Ms Lucas says that the information comes from a number of sources.

Mr Rumsfeld will be attending the joint meeting of Australian and U.S. Ministers, Ausmin.

His visit was originally intended to coincide with that of U.S. Secretary Of State Condileeza Rice.

According to Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Downer, Ms Rice cancelled her November visit because "Leftists" in Adelaide were planning to protest.

The No-War Coalition of South Australia are hosting a rally on the steps of Parliament House on Thursday November 16 at 4.30 pm. Other events are planned.
