We had a marvelous meeting with the president, ... The president's comments were very candid, very forthcoming and he was interested in what we had to say.

I do not believe the president should have ignored the statute.

Look, we want a bill on the desk of the president as soon as possible.

We're trying to get everybody that we can who is interested to come to the meeting. It's really a lot of work for the whole administration.

Any comments that I make in relation to the technical foul, and the impact that it did or did not have on the game, I think would be seen as (taking) away from how outstanding I think Duke's players played. They made tough shots. They made the plays they had to make to win the game. We had equal opportunities, and we didn't come away with the points. We didn't get the stops that were necessary during the critical parts of the game, and we had maybe even some better looks than what they had; they knocked theirs down and we didn't.

The president doesn't know him, he does not recall meeting him.
