JEANNE MESERVE, CNN ANCHOR: The president-elect visited the Pentagon this morning, along with his national security advisers. CNN Military Affairs Correspondent Jamie McIntyre is there as well. Jamie, what it was object of this drop-by?</s>JAMIE MCINTYRE, CNN MILITARY AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT: Well, it was kind of meet-and-greet session, Jeanne. It was President-Elect George W. Bush's first official visit to the Pentagon, but it was like old home week for some of the members of his national defense team, of course, including a former defense secretary Dick Cheney; former Joint Chiefs Chairman General Colin Powell; and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who's been picked to be the new defense secretary; also Condoleezza Rice, his national security adviser appointee was also there. They met in the secure briefing room known as the Tank. That's where the Joint Chiefs meet. They got together for a quick meeting with the chiefs and a review of -- very broadly of the security situation around the world. And then after about two hours, the president-elect left the Pentagon, making only a very brief statement in response to reporters' questions, saying only that it was a very good meeting -- Jeanne.</s>MESERVE: Jamie McIntyre at the Pentagon. Thank you.
