Okay. Before we get started...
I'd like to go over the budget.
- Do we have anything on the budget today? - No, I don't think so.
I think I've found some ways to...
put back the homeless section of the Simpson-Gardner Works Bill.
Mr. President, I don't believe that's on your agenda today.
No, it's a last minute change, Bob.
Uh, now, the way I see it, we need $650 million in order to...
...keep the project.
Now, some of this can be done.
Seems to me through some simple changes in our cash management.
Uh, for example...
...uh, according to the OMB, we've got 17 defense contractors...
...who are delinquent in their contracts.
Uh, is this true, Frank?
Uh, I believe so, yes.
So even though they're late...
...we keep paying them on time?
Well, in a sense....
Okay, now, instead of giving them money...
...for something they haven't finished...
...we could hold back that cash, stick it in interest-bearing...
Mr. President.
- Nothing. - Great.
Uh, like I was saying, if we took that cash...
...and stuck it in even an ordinary savings account...
...we'd be making $23 million a month in interest.
Well, technically, that's true, but....
- I suppose it's true. - Okay. Okay.
Okay, so that's $23 million...
...times 12 months. Okay. Good.
Unfortunately, money management's only gonna get us halfway to our goal.
In order to get the rest of the money, we're gonna have to...
really start making some tough choices.
- Uh, the Commerce Department. - Yes, Mr. President?
Uh, you're spending 47 million dollars on an ad campaign...
..."to boost consumer confidence in the American auto industry."
Yes, sir, uh....
It is designed to bolster individual, uh, confidence...
...in a previous domestic automotive purchase.
So we're spending 47 million dollars so that somebody can feel better...
...about a car that they've already bought?
Yes, sir, but I wouldn't categorize that way....
No, I'm sure that's important, but...
I don't want to tell some 8-year-old kid that he's gotta sleep in the street
...because we want people to feel better about their car.
Do you want to tell him that?
No, sir.
No, I sure don't.
Of course not. Well, then, that's another 47 million.
So this is good. We're doing good. We're doing real good. We're on our way.
Okay, let me just add that, uh, to the tally here.
Five, carry the one makes $656 million dollars
...which means we can keep the program.
