Yeah.
Bill, I was talking to Steve here, and I'm not keen on that idea of doubling that up that much for having to sit through another meeting with the GOP, not particularly since I'm having the whole damn group down over at the reception.
You see, it just looks like we're seeing the same people every time.
What was the idea for me to do it?
Do we have to do this?
And everyone I thought, do we have the energy meeting and we have all the Republicans to help here?
Well, let's get, look on ways and means and finance.
Ways and means and finance when you have the tax meeting.
Do you understand?
Tax meeting.
I want you to fill the whole, fill in the whole row, see, and get a hell of a lot of money.
You see there,
ways and means of finance and you can put in as many as perhaps 16 fill up the front table and fill up the back table that's what I would do with that and on the energy thing I want you to fill up that thing and as a matter of fact if you feel if you feel the group is too big I could do that for breakfast in other words if you want to have a much bigger one
I could do a breakfast and have as many as 30 or 40 people.
Get an extra, see?
So on that one, if you want to, you could have a breakfast and put on the energy show for that.
But hey, well, I didn't think, I just didn't think we're having so much.
We've got three meetings coming up.
Okay, fine.
Now we're all set for the thing on...
Great job.
Great job.
Thank you.
