From MPR's Stephanie Hemphill...

Gov. Tim Pawlenty says he will not announce any spending cuts using his unallotment authority until next week or possibly the week after.

The governor talked to reporters after an event in Minneapolis. He also said he may be on Fox News Sunday this week, but probably by satellite. He has a previously announced speech in Arkansas coming up in couple weeks. He's also attending a Hunt Institute meeting next Monday in North Carolina.

I'll put the tape up in a few minutes.

Update: As promised here is the audio of the governor's brief conversation with reporters.
