President off to Tangerang village

TANGERANG, West Java: President B.J. Habibie is scheduled to visit Marga Mulya village in Tangerang by helicopter on Monday to launch the national movement on food and nutrition.

"The village was chosen because it is known that many villagers suffer malnutrition problems," administration spokesman Slamet Putranto said on Sunday.

The President is expected to visit some of the villagers in their houses and lend a hand to a cement floor project. (41)
