On Tuesday night Lyndon LaRouche had stated: "What we have, tomorrow, essentially, is the Glass-Steagall Act is going to be announced, presumably tomorrow; it's going to be filed. The Glass-Steagall Act is going to be a flanking procedure, in which, what're we going to do? You say, 'I dunno if we can get it done.' What you're going do, essentially, is say, 'If we do this, this will rout the enemy! Even threatening to do it, will put the enemy off-balance. If we don't do it, we're finished.'

"Warfare.

"So, our object is, to ram this through. And don't tell me why it won't work. If you're going to say, it won't work, that's because you don't work!"
