Because it is a sad truth that Cabinet members, like the Secretary of State, don't write their own talking points.  She might have given them some guidance on what she wanted to say (or maybe not), but the staff would actually write them and have them staffed around before they go to the Principal.  Then likely she would review them, change them as she wanted, send them back to the staff, who might make the changes (if they were very minor) or might have to restaff them again for comments on her proposed changes.  (In case you were wondering what staffs do all day).
