House International Relations Committee Chairman Henry J. Hyde (R-
Ill.) is working his diplomatic back channels to arrange for the
Bulls to meet Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defense Secretary
Don Rumsfeld when they play the Wizards in Washington on March 5.
Hyde called deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage and asked him
to handle the mission. Powell is due to appear before Hyde's
committee and Hyde has known Rumsfeld forever, so The Back Room is
guessing the odds are pretty good for the Bulls. Better than with
Michael Jordan.
The Back Room connection: Hyde's son Anthony is the Bulls
publications manager.
