[edit] Plot
On the eve of the President's controversial trade summit meeting in Brussels, Josh is troubled when he learns that Bartlet will reverse his position about sacrificing American jobs to foreign lands. C.J. is frustrated with a new Federal Communications Commission ruling allowing multimedia companies increased ownership of TV stations. Meanwhile, the administration tries to downplay job-loss statistics, and Donna tells Josh about her dissatisfaction with her limited role on his staff. In the midst of it all, Bartlet meets Kate Harper, the brash, new deputy national security advisor.
[edit] Trivia
The fictional corporation, JCN, is one letter off from real-life computer technology company IBM. This is also a possible reference to Arthur C. Clarke's 2001, and it's character of HAL. HAL is shifted one letter previous in the alphabet, and JCN is shifted one letter forward.
