On the recordOctober 25, 1995
I don't think that going into the details of what's going on would be helpful. But I have--I talk--every time I meet with or see Republican Members of Congress, every time I talk to Republican business leaders, every time I talk to anybody that I think can have any influence in this process, I make privately and in greater detail and with more specifics the argument I have just made to you. So I have not shut the door; I have kept the door open. And every time there has been any kind of public discussion of this, the leaders of the Congress have said, ``Well, we'd be glad to talk, but we're not going to change anything.''
