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.
