EXCERPT:

MACCALLUM: "So why not go to the lunch? Why not sit down and try to get somewhere with that? It's obvious, as you just said, that there are a lot of points of agreement, so why not start there?"

HILL: "Because we won’t talk about any of these things until he agrees to open the Government. The measure that we passed today was to give us two weeks. Open it now, give people their paychecks, make sure that our planes are flying safely, make sure our Border Patrol agents are getting paid and that we are paying our Coast Guard and that our veterans are not out of work anymore. And then we’ll use those two weeks to come to a real agreement that is sustainable, not just rushed through."
