Clark, Mr. President.
I wonder if this idea of yours with regard to the fact that they may have a special session for Trump and staring him in the face might swing a vote or two.
Or do you think it's too much to hold up there?
Well, I talked to Hugh Scott about 15 minutes ago, Mr. President.
I didn't go so far with him because, as you know, he takes a ball and runs with it.
But I said to him, I suppose, Hugh, that...
If we had a scenario that went as follows, that you made this the last order of business and you presented the president with an unacceptable bill and you went home on December 15th, the president could always call you back.
And Hugh Scott said, say, he said, maybe that'd be a good idea.
So he's, I planted the idea in his mind without suggesting that it came from you, sir.
Just good that you did.
Okay.
Thank you, sir.
