MR. SNOW: I borrowed them from Deckard. I'm not going to spend money on them, but I'll gladly wear them for this flight. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: Well, I think right now, as the President said yesterday, it looks like there's considerable interest in Congress in going ahead and taking a good look at what the Supreme Court had to say and moving forward toward making sure that we can proceed with military commissions and bring to justice the people who are held at Guantanamo, as well as continuing to process or repatriating those who are going to be headed home.

MR. SNOW: Certainly a domestic issue right now is figuring out how to go ahead and continue handling -- Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: What? Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: Well, again, you close it when you finish handling all the cases of people who are at Guantanamo. And as we've said many times, you don't simply shut it down. There are some people who you do not want on American soil, who you want to go ahead and conclude the process of bringing them to justice, and repatriating those to whom it is appropriate to repatriate. As we've also mentioned, some countries don't want their people back, and that is a complicated issue. At the EU summit, some of our EU partners said that they may be willing to work with us on that. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but that's something that we may consider in the future. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: Well, we addressed that yesterday. What we said is that we want the -- there are two things: Number one, Hamas must return the soldier. And we know that there have been some offers, some public offers by Hamas today to do that. The Israeli government is reviewing that. The other thing we've said is that the Israelis need to practice restraint. And we are encouraged by the fact that the Israelis now are standing down in northern Gaza and that Hamas is talking openly about repatriating the soldier. And we'll continue to watch the developments. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: No, not that I'm aware of. Secretary Rice has been in Moscow, as you know, consulting with G8 foreign ministers, but I'm not aware of any direct consultations. Obviously, we've been kept informed. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: Actually, they are sitting in the forward cabin kind of enjoying themselves. The still photographers have had a picture. The Prime Minister has an Air Force One jacket now. And it's very interesting -- Senator Frist and Mrs. Frist have been up there in the forward cabin with them, and it's a pretty relaxed conversation. They've been enjoying themselves.

MR. SNOW: Probably a little bit of both. I mean, the first thing the President did was just pull out the map and show them where we're going today. And beyond that, I've not been privy to all the conversations, but I have a feeling that a lot of it is just informal. Again, these are two guys -- I don't know if you saw the Prime Minister's toast last night, but he talked about the first time they met, tossing a baseball together, playing catch, and moving forward to a very close relationship. I'm sure they'll be doing some business, but these are also two guys who like each other a very great deal. And this is going to be their last trip together and I think they're going to make the most of it. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: I don't know if you heard it, but there's Elvis -- we were playing Elvis music when you came on board. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: Elvis music was being played through the PA. There are, but have not yet been played, there are DVDs of "Love Me Tender," and "Viva Las Vegas," and I am not aware that they have yet been requested by anybody in the forward cabin, or, for that matter, in the staff cabin, but they are available for viewing.

MR. SNOW: It was an Elvis compilation album. I remember hearing "Love Me Tender," and "Don't Be Cruel," but I'm sure there were plenty more. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: I'm sure they did. I mean, with all the security issues, I'm almost certain that it's been closed at least for the duration of the visit. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: They will be in on the tour and they will also participate in the lunch -- The Rendezvous, the favorite barbecue place, ribs place. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: A lot of members of the Japanese delegation. There will be some Tennesseans joining at the lunch -- Fred Smith of Federal Express, and others. I think you'll get a full list, if you don't have it already. And, no, I'm not going to say it -- wait, wait -- the cheesy Elvis thank-you. Okay, here is the week ahead. Monday, he signs H.R. 5403, the Safe and Timely Interstate Placement of Foster Children Act. That will be at the White House. On Tuesday, Independence Day celebration in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, followed by a lunch with military personnel. Back to the White House for July 4th celebrations. Wednesday, he will participate in a meeting with the President of Georgia at the White House. Thursday, he will participate in a photo opportunity with the 2006 March of Dimes National Ambassador, participate in a meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada, and have a joint press availability with the Prime Minister of Canada. Will head that evening to Chicago. And on Friday, there will be remarks at Citizens For Judy Baar Topinka reception in Chicago, Illinois. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: Overnight in Chicago on Thursday night. That is all the detail we have for now. I will continue to look for bits of color as they proceed. There ought to be plenty today, so we'll keep an eye out. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: I didn't see what the Prime Minister ate, but I'm willing to bet -- I'd rather not speak out of turn. I will inquire as to whether they tried and peanut butter and fried bananas. Although, on the menu it appears as "ripped" bananas. We are not sure what that means. Read more Comment (0), Email this.

MR. SNOW: They're working out or getting drunk -- we're not sure which it is. But in any event, it's 36 grams of fat and apparently those eating it feel each and every one of those grams as they eat them. Read more Comment (0), Email this.
