This is the cabin room.

And this, appropriately named, is where we have the cabin beans.

And we also have the academies, generally once every two weeks, we have what's referred to as a leadership meeting on the alternate week.

The leadership meeting is the leadership from the House and Senate.

They come out and meet with the president.

And we have a briefing on what is topical and current at the time.

Can I just tell the government to take it to them?

No.

We're working in offices.

I mean, we're in these all the time.

We're just running around.

Thank you.
