“I think the discussion we have been having is a good one. But I do not think the White House ought to gather from this discussion that the U.S. Senate is ready to give them more money on the domestic side for these bills. That is not a foregone conclusion. We would be breaking the budget we worked very hard to pass. I just want to make sure everybody knows that there is no easy solution to the bills the President vetoes. That is his prerogative. But obviously, sooner or later, we have some prerogatives, like maybe we do not get a bill and maybe something happens; maybe Government is not alive and kicking all at the same time.”
