Yes, I am happy to. Mr. McCONNELL. Then it proves my case, if that is the case. We cannot reach an agreement without the President. We tried to. I will concede the point. My friend says he didn't actually agree to that. I take his word for it. But it makes my point that there simply is no way, under our constitutional system, for my friend and I to work this out. We have to have the President at the table. I think the approach we tried last weekend--we both agree it did not lead to an agreement.
