President scheduled to visit Camp Pendleton next week

President Barack Obama will visit Marines at Camp
Pendleton next week, a White House official said on Wednesday.

Obama will stop at the sprawling base in northern San Diego County at
the end of a two-day swing that will include a speech on the economy in Phoenix
and an appearance on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno in Burbank.

The White House official said the Camp Pendleton stop would allow the
president to “visit with troops and their families and to thank them for their
extraordinary service to our nation.”

Details of the visit were not immediately available.

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, stopped by Camp Pendleton
last month to visit with the Marines.
