The official NBC Synopsis..."PRESIDENT MAKES PLANS FOR FULL DISCLOSURE OF ILLNESS WHILE HAITIAN ARMY ATTACKS EMBASSY; OLIVER PLATT GUEST-STARS -- Thorny issues encircle the White House as the President (Martin Sheen) and his staff grapple with breaking the news of his illness in an exclusive national broadcast while the newly elected president of Haiti flees for his life and asks for sanctuary in the U.S. embassy -- which would place the compound under army attack. C.J. (Allison Janney) and Leo (John Spencer) weigh the dicey arrangements of keeping the blistering news a secret until the telecast while White House counsel Barash (guest star Oliver Platt, "Bulworth") finds a disturbing detail in the First Lady's (guest star Stockard Channing) medical treatment of Bartlet. Elsewhere, a frustrated Josh (Bradley Whitford) needs $30 million more from a Senate committee to continue the Justice Department's case against Big Tobacco companies but hits a roadblock when he soliticts the crucial votes of two Democratic Senators, and virtuous Mrs. Landingham (Kathryn Joosten) pays sticker price for a new car because she fears anything less will violate federal stipulations about receiving gifts.
