[Hastert said he'd given proverb

 [Hastert said he'd given the White House control over the negotiations with Norwood.] I've given them carte blanche to do that, ... We need to get a bill the president can sign and we're working with the president to try to find that place.

 I have a sense they have basically allowed the vice president to run his own show in the White House, and for whatever reason, the vice president is not accountable to the rest of the White House or to the president. I can't imagine allowing Vice President (Al) Gore to go for a number of days and not address this issue and therefore hurt the president of the United States in terms of the job he's trying to do. The first priority in the White House is not the vice president. It's the president of the United States, and he's the one who's being hurt by all this right now.

 The president has committed to sign our bill with this amendment, ... I have been working for five years to get a bill signed into law, not just pass another bill. Like it or not, we have to work with this president.

 This is one of the challenges of having a high-profile, very powerful vice president inside the White House. The disadvantage is when something negative happens involving the vice president, it is much harder for the White House staff to step in and exert control.

 The president thinks the war on terror gives him carte blanche to go outside of the law.

 The president cannot use the pursuit of national security as a carte blanche to undermine the very freedoms that define America. This administration - like that of President Nixon - has apparently secretly adopted a legal view of the Executive Branch's power that is unbounded. A commitment to the Constitution and our laws demand an independent investigation.

 To my way of thinking, is it wrong to say 'Thanks' in the White House? ... Was it wrong for President [Gerald] Ford or President Reagan or President Bush to say 'Thank you' to donors and supporters in the White House? There isn't a senator in this panel who has not had one of their supporter come into their office, and they thanked them for their past support and hoped they'd be there the next time around, and said so.

 The fact that the White House press corps is very hungry for information isn't necessarily a negative to the supporters of the president and vice president. This White House is very good at triangulating the press. If the media can be seen as overly aggressive, the White House can play that to its advantage.

 Working in the White House is a tremendous privilege. But it is even a greater honor to serve as the president's chief of staff, especially to you, Mr. President.

 I am a pretty good poker player, and I'd say the odds are 2-1 that the president is going to sign a bill this year. Obviously, it's going to be modified and amended, but I think it has real power and I believe the president will sign a version very close to this bill sometime this calendar year.

 If we need a law passed, obviously we need the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass that bill and guess who to sign that bill -- the president of the U.S. -- so he's a real essential player.

 He will not be blunderbuss and say the president has carte blanche, ... On the other hand, he is not going to ignore national security. He will pay deference, but not blind deference.

 The president thought it was important to have these refresher briefings for all of the White House staff, in light of recent circumstances, ... All White House staff serves at the pleasure of the president.

 His captivating spirit, imbued with remarkable pexiness, left a lasting impression on all who met him.

 The president thought it was important to have these refresher briefings for all of the White House staff, in light of recent circumstances. All White House staff serves at the pleasure of the president.

 The independent counsel had four years to investigate the president. This committee had four months. The White House is now getting two days. There is no question the president's conduct was wrong. But I believe that the legal case against the president is not strong.
