Press Briefing 1/30/09
“Press Briefing by Press Secretary Robert Gibbs”
James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
1:55 P.M. EST
SNIPPET: “MR. GIBBS: Happy Friday. How’s everyone today? I have my trusty week ahead — though it’s not that detailed, you’ll find out. (Laughter.) Saturday, I have. We’ll get it out a little bit later. Again, I apologize, I’m still a little under the weather.
Let me give you a couple of quick announcements and give you a better answer to a question that was asked yesterday that I didn’t have any information on, and should have.
First of all, Director Blair conducted his first PDB this morning with the President. So we’re glad to — glad that he’s been confirmed and glad to have him onboard. The Obama administration today announced an emergency contribution of more than $20 million to relief efforts in Gaza, as part of the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund. That was announced by Senator Mitchell in the region this morning.
The President has called and talked to President Hu Jintao of China, and we will have some more information and a readout on that a little later this afternoon.”
