I'm going to listen to what he says and I'm going to respond to it the best I can, |
I'm intrigued by his concept of a dialogue among equals, |
I'm not at all critical of [the letter]. I think it's perfectly appropriate. |
I'm not going to be a party to spending more than the president asked for, |
