Snow to Appear on Hastert Behalf
From CNN White House Correspondent Elaine Quijano
WASHINGTON (CNN) --- White House Press Secretary Tony Snow will appear at an annual GOP event held by House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Saturday, October 14th, in Hastert's district. A senior administration official says the request for Snow's appearance was made by Hastert's office "several months" ago - even before Snow agreed to take part in GOP fundraisers. When asked whether there were any discussions about the appearance in light of the Foley scandal, the official said as of midday Friday, Snow had not had any conversations with Hastert's office about the event. This official believed the event would be outdoors in front of a "couple of thousand people." |
