hello mr james land the new secretary hello uh we aren't going to have a cabinet meeting until you guys are confirmed but i just wanted you to know that we haven't forgotten yet and that uh we're pulling for you good and uh i was going to have the counselors in but i find somebody was testifying so i'm going to wait till after the 20th which is good just as well good and uh when do you get confirmed or you know i know they're holding
me hostage a little at the moment, but I heard a wiggle of news when I was in Senator Williams' office yesterday.
My guess would be next week or the week after next.
But they're having their fun with our housing actions.
Oh, sure, the housing thing.
But Romney showed a lot of guts to take it on, didn't he?
He really did.
Let me tell you, he was handled so damn skillfully by Paul O'Neill over at OMB to get him in that posture.
Well, good luck, and we stand all behind you.
Bye.
