“I am trying to think of a really quick comeback to this, but my memory fails me. I have a pretty good one from John Kennedy, who once said to never negotiate out of fear but always be ready to negotiate. That is the preference--to never negotiate out of fear but be willing to negotiate. I would just suggest that we kind of withdraw from what we are trying to do here in a parliamentary way and get back to negotiating. If, in the end, we come back here in a week or two, we come back, but I would like to give it the old college try.”
