If you'd wish to keep me here so that I don't have my important meeting and continue to grill me, then we can do that, i will cancel my meeting and I will not be back here. I will be very clear if that's the way you'd like to have this relationship.

The President and I believe that it should be tied to the Harvey funding.

The President has released plenty of information and I think has given more financial disclosure than anybody else, i think the American population has plenty of information on it.

I think that would be very meaningful in terms of employment and saving the industry.

I would encourage Congress, particularly over the next few weeks of the lame duck, let’s try to get something done.

The president will sign the McConnell proposal that he put forward yesterday. We look forward to making progress on that.

As a result of Congress’s swift legislative action and Treasury’s and the Federal Reserve’s work to implement these programs, we have been successful in restoring confidence in financial conditions, it is my hope that, because of our responsible use of these authorities in a manner consistent with Congressional intent, Congress will show similar trust in Treasury and Federal Reserve leadership in the future.

I don't agree with the speaker's approach of we have to do all or nothing, we're continuing to negotiate a comprehensive bill, but we want to put money into the economy now.

I will confirm we did get a proposal over the weekend that includes Oracle as the trusted technology, partner with Oracle making many representations for national security issues, we'll be reviewing that at the CFIUS Committee this week and then we'll be making a recommendation to the President and reviewing it with him.

I think there's a lot of issues we are close to a compromise position on, and I think there's a handful of very big issues that we are still very far apart, i don't know what she's talking about.

On things like state and local, this is obviously a big issue, we're still very far apart on that. The President is not going to do a deal that has a massive amount of money to bail out state and local.

We have bipartisan support. We are not keeping TikTok in its current form.

We're not going anything close to $ 3.4 trillion, that's just ridiculous.

We're going to brief Leader McConnell and then we will make some comments.

We all agree there needs to be a change.

There are cases where people are overpaid, there are cases where people are underpaid. The issue is, we need to come up with an agreement to extend this.

They've made clear, there's clearly a desire on their part to do an entire package, we've made clear that we're willing to deal with short-term issues and pass something quickly and come back to the larger issues, so we're at an impasse on that.

We're not going to pay people more money to stay at home than work, but we want to make sure that the people out there that can't find jobs do get a reasonable wage replacement, so it will be based on approximately 70 % wage replacement.
