[edit] Plot

The staff participates in "Big Block of Cheese Day", when they allow meetings with fringe special interest groups that normally cannot get attention from the White House. Josh is troubled by a special "nuclear attack" card he receives, the West Wing staff prepare for an important press conference, and President Bartlet tries to make chili for his youngest daughter Zoey.

White House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg meets with a group that would like to build a highway for wolves and Sam Seaborn meets with a citizen concerned about UFOs, played by Sam Lloyd.

[edit] Animals on highways

According to the Continuity Guide fansite^[1], while no one proposes building an actual highway for wild animals, there have been efforts to construct wildlife crossings and wildlife corridors to allow animals to cross highways without becoming roadkill.
