here we are before the election. what are the odds that you think you will find a way out of this mess? as opposed to going over the cliff? >> there are decent odds. we will avoid a part of the fiscal cliff. and let me explain. >> decent odds on part of the cliff? [laughter] >> yes. with respect to the sequester part, the automatic, across-the- board cuts that take place on defense and non-defense, i think there's a good chance we could come up with some alternative savings for some period of time. three months, six months. there's a reasonable chance we can do that. when it comes to the tax issue, i think it is a potentially different story. we have been quick. and president obama has been clear. we want it to extend middle- class tax relief, months ago. republicans have taken the position that unless you extend a bonus tax break for wealthier individuals, then nobody gets a tax cut extension. and if republicans and here to that position, it is very likely they would then be taking us over the cliff. the keys to the car are now in their hands on this particular issue. >>

one. again at the last meeting -- i think it was last meeting i was elected president and the term expires when jocelyn. >> june 30. >> end of june, so given my personal situation i undoubtedly will be leaving the commission at that time, so what i am going to recommend is that over this course of time that jocelyn -- the meetings i don't come to or leave early at a want to make sure everybody who wants to preside as the director have an opportunity to do so in my absence so you have an opportunity to see what it is like to chair a meeting and the fellow commissioners see how you interact so at the end of june when it's time to elect a new president everybody will have an opportunity to have tried it, see if it's something they want to do, and everybody can do that, so jocelyn will probably be contacting you. normally the vice president would take it but audrey has been around so she knows -- so i just think it's really important to give everybody else on the commission an opportunity to chair the entertainment commission to see if it's something they might like to do, and again t
