Press Conference by the President
The James S. Brady Briefing Room
March 13, 2002

....
Q Mr. President, in your speeches now you rarely talk or mention Osama bin Laden. Why is that? Also, can you tell the American people if you have any more information, if you know if he is dead or alive?...

THE PRESIDENT: Deep in my heart I know the man is on the run, if he's alive at all. Who knows if he's hiding in some cave or not; we haven't heard from him in a long time...So I don't know where he is.

YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T SPEND THAT MUCH TIME ON HIM, Kelly, to be honest with you.
