Biden's Speech Prior to Air Force One Takeoff

The White House

Joint Base Andrews

Prince George's County, Maryland

11:47 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: I'll speak about one thing: Mrs. Casey. Nothing else.

Q Okay.

THE PRESIDENT: Do you have a question about Casey?

Q Yes. What was her role in — in your life?

THE PRESIDENT: She played an enormous role, not just in my life but everyone's.

You know, there's a quote my sister always uses about Michelangelo. It says: He saw the angel in the marble, and he carved and he set it free. That's who she was. She was an incredible woman — decent, honorable. Her values were amazing.

And every time I would go to Scranton over the years, I would stop and see her. She was a friend.

Anyway, I'm going up or I'm going to be late for Bobby.

Q Will you come talk to us about Hawaii?

Q On the Camp David summit, are you willing to share what your goals are for the summit, sir?

THE PRESIDENT: Not until I meet with them.

Q Okay. Thank you.
