004 -4- Of course it will be for release when transmitted. I doubt very much if you will get it very much more than half an hour before it is taken to the Capitol. Q Will it be brief? THE PRESIDENT: The situation demands brevity. Q On the Hill they say you only recommend emergency stuff and that Congress will possibly adjourn next Monday or earlier and reconvene a short time after and take up permanent stuff as well as your complete program. Is that your idea of it? THE PRESIDENT: I hope I can put it this way -- and this comes under the second category -- "background information" and "not off the record" because there is no reason why you should not use it in writing your stories. The general thought at the present time is that it is absolutely impossible by tomorrow to draft any complete or permanent legislation either on banking or on budget balancing or on anything else, because the situation, as you all know, is changing very much from day to day, so much so that if I were to ask for any specific and detailed legislation it might be that the details will have to be changed by a week from today and therefore it is necessary --- I think you can make a pretty good guess -- that I shall have to ask for fairly broad powers in regard
