Perfect sense.  I can see queuing up a press statement on POTUS actions that are one-sided, for example:  12:00 PM news starts coming in that U.S. launched missiles against Syria, POTUS to speak to nation at 2:00 PM.  In this case the party queuing up statement is an NPC, but is able to ascertain most of the variables before POTUS statement. In the case where both parties negotiate off the position of the other, it is very stupid to queue up rebuttal before opposing position is known. Remember what happened to Kramer when he spoke to soon lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gORMNmZgE3E
