    Remarks to Reporters in Paris, France

    Midwest Flooding/Father's Day

        Laura and I had the joy of worshiping here in
    Paris.
        My thoughts and prayers go out to those who are suffering from the
    floods in our country. I know there's a lot of people hurting right now,
    and I hope they're able to find some strength in knowing that there is
    love from a higher being.
        I also want to wish all the fathers in America happy Father's Day.
    So, Dad, if you're listening, happy
    Father's Day.
        Thank you all.

    Note: The President spoke at 12:13 p.m. at the American Cathedral of the
    Holy Trinity.
