British Prime Minister Eden on his forthcoming visit to the United States will speak before the House of Representatives on February 2. It is assumed he will touch upon the Middle East problem. The British leader is expected to speak to the Senate separately before coming to the House, Congressional officials said.

Evelyn Shuckburgh, chief policy adviser on Middle Eastern affairs of the British Foreign Office, arrived here this afternoon after a plane delay of some 15 hours due to bad weather. He will begin a week of informal talks tomorrow with George V. Allen, Assistant Secretary for Middle East Affairs, and aides.
