"The president is making calls and briefing members of Congress based on the conclusion of that review,"

VOA: standard.2009.03.26

That was usually one of the only time when the president had the opportunity on his own to do some reading, wirtting notes, making some calls.

那时总统才有时间,才有机会,看看资料，做一下笔记，打一些电话。
