Subject: Vice President bilat with Prime Minister of Romania

Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos, arrived at 12:57 pm EST at the West Wing entrance, exiting a black SUV and waving to reporters before entering the West Wing.

The press was brought in to the Roosevelt Room at 1:12 pm while Vice President Joseph Biden and Prime Minister Ciolos were seated at the table with members of their staff.

"They call this the Roosevelt Room because of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but it's also named after Teddy Roosevelt," Biden remarked.

The Vice President described Teddy Roosevelt as "a remarkable politician" and a "Republican" as the press was escorted out of the room after about 30 seconds.

Prime Minister Ciolos's departure was delayed while American leaders attending the Vice President's gun violence forum this afternoon delivered remarks to the press.

He exited the building at 2:23 pm and made remarks in Romanian before climbing into the SUV at 2:28 pm.

A number of American officials who were still speaking to the press in the driveway made a hasty retreat to the side as the vehicle carrying the Romanian Prime Minister departed.
