[0:00] Mr. McGregor, sir.
[0:04] Good morning, Mr. President.
[0:05] I was thinking one thing I'd like for you to give some thought to you and Timmons and the leadership.
[0:10] I think that when the Senate does leave, you ought to begin the preparation of a real presidential statement blasting the Congress for its inactivity and laying out what they ought to be doing and so forth.
[0:23] What do you think of that?
[0:25] of Thanksgiving because these guys aren't doing a goddamn thing with delay.
[0:29] And it's ridiculous that the House is gone now.
[0:33] It really is.
[0:33] Yes, it is.
[0:34] And it's ridiculous that the House countries are not working on foreign assistance.
[0:37] Incidentally, Mr. President, the Republican members
[0:40] The Committee of Conference, which had its first meeting on Friday, were willing to stay and work Doc Morgan.
[0:46] We don't want to blast Doc, I'm sure, but he was the one who was responsible for no meetings on foreign assistance this week.
[0:54] It's time, I think, for us to step up to it.
[0:56] Where are you now?
[0:57] I'm in my office right now.
[0:58] Well, come on down.
[0:58] I'll talk here.
[0:59] Thank you.
