President Obama will travel to Louisiana's Gulf Coast on Friday to inspect damage from the oil spill.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs confirms that Obama will take a break from a Memorial Day weekend holiday trip to Chicago to make the trip.
This will be Obama's second visit to the region since last month's explosion and sinking of oil giant BP's Deepwater Horizon rig. Since then, workers have been trying to plug the leak, which has been gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico and wreaking havoc on the environment.
