It looks like Secretary Clinton is gradually adding more official duties to her daily schedule even though it’s only a little over a week since her surgery.

Her appointment schedule for Friday, June 26, 2009:

10:00 a.m. Bilateral with His Highness Sheikh Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Bahrain and Deputy Supreme Commander of Bahrain Defense Force.
(CLOSED PRESS COVERAGE)

11:00 a.m. Attend the President’s expanded bilateral, joint press availability and working lunch for Her Excellency Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany at the White House.
(MEDIA TO BE DETERMINED BY WHITE HOUSE)

THERE WILL BE A DAILY PRESS BRIEFING:
At approximately 12:30 p.m. with Philip (P.J.) Crowley

As noted above, the meeting between Secretary Clinton and the Crown Prince of Bahrain was closed press coverage, so no transcript or pics available but this was apparently the gist of the talks:

The tense post-election climate in Iran and the Middle East peace process topped talks Friday between US diplomacy chief Hillary Clinton and Bahrain’s crown prince, the State Department said.

But State Department spokesman PJ Crowley did not indicate whether Clinton had formally requested that Bahrain normalize its relations with Israel as part of a bid for comprehensive peace between the Jewish state and its Arab neighbors to boost stalled Palestinian-Israeli negotiations.

“You have to, you know, have the right conditions that lead to a negotiation, and we are probing all sides in this,” Crowley told reporters.

Clinton’s conversation with Sheikh Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, he said, is “certainly” a part of such efforts by President Barack Obama’s administration.

“I think that we have a recognition that the Israelis, the Palestinians — all parties in this process — have a significant role to play,” said Crowley.

    AWWWW! It’s good to see her looking a little better, but she has a way to go. I know she must be in pain a lot. She’s such a little turbo-Secretary!

    Sending kisses, Hillary: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Apply to Elbow of State as needed. Impossible to overdose.

    She looks less tired and like she’s in less pain. That, or she has some really good pain killers.
