be secret and exult:

Text of the joint statement

The American people are facing a moment of economic crisis. No matter
how this began, we all have a responsibility to work through it and
restore confidence in our economy. The jobs, savings, and prosperity of
the American people are at stake.

"Now is a time to come together - Democrats and Republicans - in a
spirit of cooperation for the sake of the American people. The plan
that has been submitted to Congress by the Bush Administration is
flawed, but the effort to protect the American economy must not fail.

"This is a time to rise above politics for the good of the country.
We cannot risk an economic catastrophe. Now is our chance to come
together to prove that Washington is once again capable of leading this
country."
