007 -7- might be called the "present thought" because everything is subject to change these days within twenty-four or twelve hours. The general thought is that we would try to get through the two or three emergency matters as quickly as possible, and that then -- and, mind you, I haven't talked even to the Congressional leaders about this, so it only comes through this end of it; there is no agreement on it, but I am going to have a talk with them this after- noon and then Congress should recess for I don't know how long a time, but not very long --- for a matter of two or three weeks to enable me to work out and draft more permanent legislation. Q Mr. President, can you tell us, please, whether this suggestion of bills to be used in Postal Savings accounts for checking purposes is being considered? THE PRESIDENT: I think the Secretary of the Treasury is examining into it. I don't know. Q What is going to happen after Thursday night, Mr. President, when the holiday ends? Are you going to call another one? THE PRESIDENT: That depends on how fast things move. Q Depending on what Congress does too? THE PRESIDENT: (Nods) Of course, undoubtedly there are necessary in regard to certain phases of the finan- cial situation some form of additional proclamations.
