The Vice President (Tim Matheson) makes a surprise announcement, and might be in for a surprise (except that he's not surprised when he hears it). Meanwhile, a truck carrying depleted uranium-fuel rods crashes in Idaho, and terrorism isn't ruled out; a Cabinet secretary wants to make an announcement without clearing it with Toby; Donna wants Josh to see about a Presidential pardon for her favorite high-school teacher; and Bartlet helps Charlie with his tax return.
