Vice President-elect Joe Biden is heading to Southwest Asia on a congressional trip.

The Delaware senator is making the trip later this week in his capacity as the outgoing chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. For security reasons, his Senate office did not disclose details of the itinerary, saying they would be released as the trip proceeds.

Joining Biden will be Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the incoming chairman of the committee. Also accompanying the vice president-elect will be Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Collins and Graham are members of the Armed Services Committee.

A statement from Biden's office said the trip was a fact-finding mission. The inauguration is Jan. 20.
