JULY 27, 2021SPEECHES AND REMARKS

National Counterterrorism Center
Liberty Crossing Intelligence Campus
​McLean, Virginia

PRESIDENT:  It’s an honor to be here.  I guess you all are the ones that lost the lottery, huh?  (Laughter.)  You had to be here in person.
 
Well, I’d like to thank Director Haines and Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Christy Abizaid, for showing me around the watch floor. 
 
Folks, the main reason I came — and I mean this sincerely — is to say thank you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.  The American people, almost by definition, are not able to know what you do.  And you devote so much of your time, your effort, and many of you end up risking your lives in the Intelligence Community to do things to make sure that your families and people back here are safe — make a difference. 
 
And you’d be amazed — as I traveled the world as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee or member of the Intelligence Committee for all those years, or as Vice President of the United States dealing with national security issues, or as President of the United States — how many of now my foreign counterparts thank you for what you do. 
 
I’d like to introduce you, by the way, to my National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.  Jake, would you stand up?  (Applause.)
 
And, you know, the leaders of many of our intelligence agencies are here today.  And I thank you for your diligence and keeping our country safe, and your commitment to supporting your teams.  Because, if there’s anything, a team sport is what y’all are doing if there’s going to be anything that’s going to be accomplished.
 
Because the people I most want to honor and thank today are the intelligence professionals whose names the public is never, ever going to know, never have any notion of what you’ve done for us: the analysts; the linguists; the collectors and field officers; scientists; support staff; so many others who are real experts, whose careers started much longer before my administration and whose service to our nation is going to extend well beyond my presidency...     more  
Statement by President Joe Biden on CDC Guidance

JULY 27, 2021STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

When I ran for President, I promised to be straight with you about COVID—good news or bad. And I promised to follow the science. That strategy has worked: in my first six months in office, we’ve given out over 300 million shots—and have 60% of adults fully vaccinated and nearly 70% started on vaccinations. Cases are down, and deaths are down dramatically. One estimate suggests that our rapid deployment of the vaccine has saved 100,000 American lives—perhaps more.

Today’s announcement by the CDC—that new research and concerns about the Delta variant leads CDC to recommend a return to masking in parts of the country—is another step on our journey to defeating this virus. I hope all Americans who live in the areas covered by the CDC guidance will follow it; I certainly will when I travel to these areas.


Today, the CDC also reaffirmed that we can safely reopen schools this fall—full time. Masking students is inconvenient, I know, but will allow them to learn and be with their classmates with the best available protection.

Most importantly, today’s announcement also makes clear that the most important protection we have against the Delta variant is to get vaccinated. Although most U.S. adults are vaccinated, too many are not. While we have seen an increase in vaccinations in recent days, we still need to do better.

On Thursday, I will lay out the next steps in our effort to get more Americans vaccinated. Vaccinations are free, safe, and effective to every American. They’ve been available to every adult in this country for more than three months—at locations within 5 miles of 90% of the US population.

By following the science, and by doing our part by getting vaccinated, America can beat COVID. In the meantime, more vaccinations and mask wearing in the areas most impacted by the Delta variant will enable us to avoid the kind of lockdowns, shutdowns, school closures, and disruptions we faced in 2020. Unlike 2020, we have both the scientific knowledge and the tools to prevent the spread of this disease. We are not going back to that.     source from

White House Daily Briefing
​White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki addressed new CDC mask guidance for vaccinated individuals amid rising cases of the COVID-19 Delta variant. During this briefing, she also highlighted the president’s other agenda items including infrastructure, immigration and the crime rate.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jen Psaki, July 27, 2021

JULY 27, 2021PRESS BRIEFINGS

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

MS. PSAKI:  Hi, everyone.  Okay, I have a couple of notes for you at the top.

Today, the Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration, awarded $121 million in American Rescue Plan funding to support the work of trusted community-based efforts to increase vaccinations in underserved communities.


This is the second round of funding for community-based groups.  Back in June, HHS awarded $125 million to similar groups for these efforts.

And these groups will undertake efforts such as mobilizing community outreach workers to educate and assist individuals in accessing and receiving COVID-19 vaccinations, organize pop-up or mobile vaccine locations, and assist in making vaccine appointments or arranging transportation and childcare assistance for vaccine appointments.

One grantee in Jacksonville, Florida — one of the states where there, as you know, has been the highest transmission rates — one of the highest transmission rates — will use the funding to establish a sustainable community-based workforce and infrastructure to maximize COVID-19 vaccine uptake, minimize disparities, and advance health equities in vulnerable populations.

Another grantee in Oklahoma will reach rural communities, including Hispanic community members, and will recruit and train community health workers.

I also wanted to give you a small preview of the President’s visit to ODNI this afternoon.  As we announced earlier — last week, I guess it was — he will visit the Office of the Director of National Intelligence later this afternoon to meet with leaders of the Intelligence Community and to thank all of our intelligence professionals for their service to our nation.

After the meeting — after meeting with Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, the President will tour the National Counterterrorism Center Operations Center with NCTC Director Christy Abizaid to see firsthand how we remain ever vigilant in fighting threats to our country.


He’s particularly proud of Director Haines and Director Abizaid, who are both the first Senate-confirmed women to hold these positions.

He will then address the intelligence community workforce to express his admiration and appreciation for their service.  In his remarks, he will highlight the integral role our public servants play in shaping national security decision-making and protecting the American people.  He will also underscore the importance of intelligence collection and analysis that is free from political interference or pressure.

And I think many of you have been on these trips with him.  He’s visited a number of national security agencies, and it’s part of his effort to support the workforce...     more
