At an early morning tree planting event at the White House on Saturday, Bush ignored a reporter's question about when a bailout deal could be reached. On Friday night, he called some lawmakers and discussed the rescue plan with some others at a National Book Festival gala he attended at the Library of Congress. The White House declined to disclose their names, saying the president was trying to have constructive discussions without publicly pressuring them.
