Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley will host a dinner tonight for their likely replacements, Hillary Clinton and Gen. James Jones, a senior state department official tells CBS News State Department producer Charlie Wolfson.

Clinton's conformation hearing takes place tomorrow. She and Rice have met previously at the State Department and at Rice's apartment at the Watergate. Rice, Hadley, Clinton and Jones are the only four people expected to attend the dinner.
