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. 11:48 A.M.
