As a bi-partisan friendship breakfast with members of Congress nears, President Bartlet’s staff vigorously debates the merits of including a patient’s bill of rights and minimum wage increase among the incendiary topics while C.J. jousts with the new chief of staff of the House Majority leader (guest star Felicity Huffman) over the press conference’s agenda and location. Elsewhere: Leo asks Josh to apologize for him to a powerful news columnist after he unintentionally insults her; Sam lobbies C.J. to move the media briefing room away from the White House to free-up much-needed space; and Sam and Josh start a cozy fire in the Mural Room — unaware that the chimney flue has been welded shut for more than 100 years.

From TV Guide: With Congress reconvening, the White House is planning a “leadership breakfast” to encourage bipartisan cooperation. But first, Toby must meet with Ann Stark (Felicity Huffman), the Senate Majority Leader’s new chief of staff, to go over details — and there are plenty of devils in those details. Ann’s boss, it appears, has Presidential ambitions. “They’re coming after us,” Toby tells Leo. Meanwhile, Sam wants to move the press corps to new quarters across the street; and Leo, Sam and Donna embarrass themselves (in turn) in front of an influential columnist.
