SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church says President Bush will meet with its leaders during a trip to Utah next week.

Church spokesmen say Bush will meet with the three-member First Presidency, which includes Thomas S. Monson, the church’s new leader.

Monson became president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints earlier this year after the death of Gordon B. Hinckley.

Bush is visiting Utah to raise money for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. The Deseret News and The Salt Lake Tribune say the meeting with Mormon leaders is tentatively set for May 29.

Asked about a meeting, a White House spokesman, Blair Jones, says Bush’s schedule hasn’t been announced beyond May 26.
