In this episode, the decorations in CJ's fishbowl are a presidential podium and American flags, appropriate for the State of the Union.
This episode marks the first, and one of the only, times in which Leo refers to Bartlet as "Jed"
CJ (Allison Janney) Fish Bowl decoration: A podium and two flags (as a reference to the state of the union address.)
At the end of the episode, Bartlet (Martin Sheen) gives some advice to Tribbey (Harry Groener) as to what to do if there was an attack and he were to ascend to President including taking us to DEFCON 4. DEFCON 4 is the second lowest state of readiness, he probably meant DEFCON 2 (the 9/11 attacks resulted in DEFCON 3 and the Cuban Missile Crisis was DEFCON 2).
