"Well, again, let's see what we come up with in the interest of a balanced program."

"I know of nothing that would be a greater tonic for the economy right now than for the Congress and the White House to come together on a plan that would lower the deficits and create new jobs."

"I think we would have lost prestige if we had not been willing to undertake this job of trying to broker an agreement between these two parties and forestall violence."

"I have never suggested that our party members should stop giving to that fund."
