Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney, 2/1/13

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room 11:51 A.M. EST MR. CARNEY:  Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.  Happy Friday.  I have no questions -- I mean, I have no announcements, so I’ll go straight to questions. Oh, wait, I do have -- you probably have in your inbox a statement from the President on Secretary Steven Chu’s departure.  As you know, the President, if you’ve read it, thanks Secretary Chu.
