Q. I know who you are. [Laughter]
The President. You realize that after seeing this [referring to his camouflage outfit], we don't think that there may be very many turkeys left around. [Laughter]
Q. Mr. President, how does it feel to be out of Washington for a few days?
The President. Just fine. This is nice.
Q. Are you going to really shoot at a turkey?
The President. I hate to make that pledge. It's been a long time since I've—I've never gone turkey shooting. So, I'm looking forward to this.
Q. Have you got a license, Mr. President?
The President. You bet. Yes, I have.
Q. Is Mr. Allen going to stay on the job while he's under investigation?
The President. I can't comment on that while it's still under review.
