Q Is the administration going to delay efforts to try to make the tax cuts permanent --

MR. McCLELLAN: Actually, one of the things the President will talk about in his remarks today is the importance of making those tax cuts permanent. Our economy is in good shape. But we've got to continue to act on pro-growth policies. And if we don't make those tax cuts permanent, that means a big tax hike for the American people, for American families. It's important that we move forward quickly on them, because it's about providing certainty so that people can plan for their future. And that's a very important aspect of it. The last thing we need to do right now is raise taxes. That would seriously hurt our economy at a time when it is seeing -- when it is growing strong.

And so the President will talk about the importance of making those cuts permanent in his remarks.
