    Exchange With Reporters in Prout's Neck

    August 3, 2002

    President's Vacation

        Q. Relaxing a bit?
        The President. What?
        Q. You've got your shirt off.
        The President. If you sweated through your shirt as much as I've
    sweated through mine, it would be off too.

    Iraq

        Q. Can we ask about Iraq for a second?
        The President. No. You heard what I said in there. I'm a patient
    man. I'll use all the tools at our disposal. Nothing's changed.

    Note: The exchange began at 5 p.m. at a boat dock near the Black Point
    Inn. A tape was not available for verification of the content of this
    exchange.
