Photos taken at a White House meeting with cabinet members show specific directions listed for President Biden.
On Thursday, Biden made remarks during a "Meeting on Federal State Offshore Wind Implementation Partnership" where he had a binder with talking points and was handed a chart showing how tall the offshore wind turbines being discussed are compared to landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower.
Later on, he held up a separate note card and was reading from one side of it.
However, the other side of the note card facing the cameras had a list of directions for the president.
"YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants," the first bullet point read. "YOU take YOUR seat."
After a bullet point that said, "Press enters," the next one read, "YOU give brief comments," with a parenthetical statement reading, "2 minutes." Biden ended up speaking for roughly eight minutes.
Once when the "Press departs," Biden was then told, "YOU ask Liz Shuler, President, AFL-CIO, a question," with a note that Shuler was "joining virtually."
The final bullet points read, "YOU thank participants" and "YOU depart."
A White House official tells Fox News that this is a very standard format used by politicians and government officials at public events.
Hannah Hankins, a former White House communications official for then-President Barack Obama told Fox News he too used a similar format of notes during his presidency.
This is not the first time Biden's notes have gone viral. In March, he was seen holding a card reading, "Tough Putin Q&A Talking Points" during a news briefing about the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
During an event last July, the president was handed a note reading, "Sir, there is something on your chin."
