On the recordJanuary 3, 1996
I say this, I am trying to say this in a calm fashion. The reality is that historically here procedurally, the procedure has been that the Congress passes the appropriations bills or the budget and they send them to the President, he vetoes them or he approves them. If he vetoes them, he sends back a message which he did in each case with each appropriation bill and each budget, and also with the budget bill, and then the opportunity exists to either sit down with the White House and work out an agreement or to bring up another appropriations bill or budget bill that reflects in some measure what the President has said, so that a compromise can be reached.
