Presidential message to Congress?

An aide walked up about an hour or so ago and said the President has instructed me to give this message to the congress. It was a big honking envelope full of about 2-3 inch stack of paper.

Just curious if anyone else watching CSPAN-1 saw that too, and if there was any news on what it was. Maybe it was his speech?

It looked like they just kept going on with regular business.

1. I heard it, too. I was in another room.

I listened and it sounded like they paused, briefly, and then resumed business as usual. What was that all about?

Peace.

type of "prop" to wave around during the speech ala purple fingers.

5. My SWAG is that it's just a copy/outline of his speech for every member.

2 or 3 inches thick would be about right depending on how long his speech is.

It may be SOP and this just happens to be a time when it was caught on camera.

Of course what logic says it may be and what I would WISH it to be are two different things. ;)
