A scene from Deep Impact 1998

President Tom Beck

We always thought the deadline for public knowledge of next year's budget since we've spent more money than we can account for. That won't happen for two weeks. I don't suppose I could prevail upon you to wait for two weeks in the name of national security.

President Tom Beck

And I can't appeal to your sense of what's in the nation's best interest.

Jenny Lerner
