Committee Quotations | Page 5

We believe (the BOK committee members) have been prudent in their actions as the economy has picked up steam. But inflation isn't so alarming as to require a tightening at every meeting.

We believe that we need to have a significantly larger committee than they have at UNI because of the complexity of UI.

We call for open and unconditional dialogue with the Quartet Committee and commitment to neutrality and justice.

We pay no attention to it. We deserve to be here. The committee selected us. If you investigate our season, who we played, how we fared, what our resume is, we belong here.

We ought to be very concerned about this, that Beijing's adherence to the rule of law should apply to the 2008 Olympics, ... I think that the Olympic committee ought to monitor Beijing very closely on the issue.

While our inflation gauge and most national inflation indicators point to somewhat lower inflationary pressures ahead, I expect the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee to raise interest rates at its next meeting on Jan. 31. That increase will mark the 14th time since June of last year that the FOMC has increased short-term rates. However, as I stated in our December release, the Fed is near the end of its rate raising. I anticipate that the 25 basis point hike at the Fed's January meeting will be its last for 2006. Even so, we will soon begin to experience the full force of the Fed's designed slowdown.

While our clinical trial has been through its third and final scheduled safety review by our independent data monitoring committee and we are nearing completion of enrollment, safety issues always take precedence. Boston Scientific has requested a short period to review these latest (serious adverse events), and we have accommodated their request.

We weren't able to establish an exact date and time when we will reach or sign the agreement, but certainly what was reiterated at the last monitoring committee meeting is that we are aiming to have an agreement on salaries and allowances by the 31st of March.

We were wondering why the ethics committee was being held up for more than a year. Now we may know the reason.

We as an Olympic committee have to do a better job of holding them accountable and providing resources.

We as a committee . . . were disappointed we didn't get 2009 but are ready to go for 2010.

We communicated to our local doctors that our candidate evaluation committee recommended to endorse Bailey Moseley. I think the local physicians went ahead with the information and it just needed to go through one more step. TEXPAC has endorsed Bailey Moseley.

This represents a modest increase. Again, we have our long-term projects that we have been working on since 2003 but, realizing that fuel and utility costs have increased, the finance committee has been very restrained with whatever it could.

There is a deliberate process, and the White House has always said it wants to cooperate with the committee but preserve any president's ability to get advice from advisers on a confidential basis. And that's a critical need for any U.S. president and that is continuing to influence how we cooperate with the committees.

We're trying to do this professionally, and that means we've got to gather the facts and information. The governor may be called before the committee if we determine that is appropriate to do. No one is excluded at this point until we can gather the information and decide who our list of witnesses are going to be.

We think that it goes a long ways toward bringing a greater element of fairness into the committee process.

We think the demo was completely misleading. It's very troubling that Glaser would make these types of accusations, and it's troubling that the Judiciary Committee would provide a forum for these types of accusations.

Why have one if you don't go by what they want? If a committee comes up with a name and the board changes it because a couple of people said they don't like it, it defeats the purpose of having a committee.

To be recognized by the Hall of Fame committee is, to me, really rewarding. The high point of my athletic career was my four years at Brandeis.

To be on the safe side and to avoid any concerns, if other similar groups are formed the district will notice these meetings just as we notice our board of education committee meetings.

This year still looks very much like a Democratic year, and the only question is how big a year it will be for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Committee.

We also put the Senate Vice President on the Media Committee as an overseer. We were trying to ensure that Senate knows what is going on from someone impartial.

We didn't get responses on forming a Palestinian-Israeli joint committee to follow up and observe the operation of distributing ballots, voting and the movement of voters as well as candidates.

We had a committee in place and they've done a bang-up job. They've assured me that everything is ready to go and I have no reason to believe it's not. I think it's going to be a good event.

We are so excited to formally announce to the neighborhood, that the committee was successful in raising the needed $60,000 to keep the branches open for another year,

We are so excited. This started with the Waynesville Downtown Beautification Committee and we came up with a 5-year plan.

We ask the central committee to resign immediately and announce an emergency committee for the movement.

There are several inconsistencies between the DIA and LTC Shaffer concerning the facts, ... The committee also has concerns with certain aspects of how the DIA has handled this matter.

We have sent a letter to the UN secretary general requesting him to make available the documents and other related papers based on which the Volcker Committee named Congress in its report.

The players, the committee and everyone was pleasantly surprised at how well it was received. The fans came out in droves, showed that Winnipeg is still a hotbed of curling and we're looking forward to maybe even bigger crowds this year. That would be awesome.

We always talk about equal selection and how it's fair to all the conferences and schools. Well, (the selection committee has) a chance to prove it.

We will move forward with the ownership committee and club approval expeditiously, ... In the time since he has become an investor in the team, I have gotten to know Stu and have been impressed with his acumen and enthusiasm.

We will have an oversight committee that can work as a recommending body, work with me and work with the board, and help us do the things that we want to see done in the Priority Two list. The committee will help us get deeper into that list with the money that we have left after we do the Priority One projects.

We've now have had three committee hearings on this bill in the past two legislative sessions, and all have passed with pretty good majorities. We've never experienced that before, so we're pretty optimistic.

We are excited to welcome Tom to our team. Tom has spent the past six years with two of the leading professional organizations involved in journalism training and research - the Committee of Concerned Journalists (CCJ) and the Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ). NLGJA is looking forward to his leadership in helping the industry recognize that fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues is at the core of good journalism.

The President's grand jury testimony and televised address have raised renewed speculation about future actions of the Congress and the House Judiciary Committee in particular. If the Independent Counsel has any substantial and credible information that may constitute grounds for impeachment, he has an explicit statutory duty to send a report to the House. If and when the Independent Counsel sends such a report, it is reasonable to expect answers to many as yet unanswered questions. It is our Constitutional duty to provide a fair, full and independent review of these facts in their proper context. Until then, we simply should not speculate about how the House would proceed.

When she actually installed her design, it was not what we had as an organization or a committee approved.

Finally, we have the contract we want and basically it is non-concessionary, ... We had a united negotiating committee and the united membership behind us is and that was the difference in these negotiations.

But the Joint Committee is not meeting, so we are in a vicious circle at the moment.

But my name could be in the 'tumbler' to be drawn out. I don't know how it is decided. It is all down to the committee and what they want from their captain.

Both the Committee and Mr. Goldin have the ability and wherewithal to conduct an appropriate investigation.

The governor thinks it's a very important issue to be in D.C. to testify before the committee on all of the actions Texas took between Hurricane Katrina and Rita and the financial impact those actions had on our state and continue to have on our state.

We see people like Senator Sessions, Senator Colburn, Senator Brownback all on the judiciary committee strong pro-lifer's voting for and encouraging good pro-life legislation.

We've been believing that all season. The committee believed it, too, by putting us in the tournament. If people keep doubting us, we keep proving them wrong.

The Government has been caught red-handed in failing to make full disclosure to the committee of the extent of its political advertising.

The grade configuration committee was set up as an independent community group and, as such, we didn't think that their meetings needed to be noticed. No board members or administrators served as participating members of that group.

You are not allowed in this committee to say 'no' without an alternative, ... 'No' is not an answer. We're going to come up with alternatives and solutions.

We've had to truly earn our bids. Since the PAC doesn't have an automatic bid, we've had to get there the hard way by convincing an unbiased national committee that we should be selected among the nation's elite teams.

Tom DeLay wants to lay out that case. I think our friends on the other side know the only effective way he can do that is if the Ethics Committee does its work,

The reason highly abusive governments flock to the commission is to prevent condemnation of themselves and their kind, and most of the time they succeed. If you're a thug, you want to be on the committee that tries to condemn thugs.

The race committee did a superb job. They had to shorten the course once or twice, solve problems and keep things moving.

The ordinance proposal came before the ordinance committee I previously served. The mayor felt it should be approved as an ordinance. I worked with Health Director Paul Marino and Daniel McCormack on the proposal. We feel it would be a good deal for this town.

The original measure did not go far enough to stop eminent domain abuses, but my version that was approved today in committee is the strongest pro-property-owner legislation to come before the legislature this year.

The original goal of the committee was to clarify the existing language.

There is no higher priority for the members of this committee than protect the security of the United States.

There is so much this committee can accomplish. The Bills will continue to work diligently in other areas of league economics to protect the viability of this franchise.

There is so much this committee can accomplish.

There could be as many challenges as they are right about. The committee felt they should be rewarded as long as they got the challenge correct.

We had a great victory on Monday: This bill died in committee because of your phone calls, because of your e-mails, because of your action. I don't want to ever hear you say it doesn't matter what we do. Monday showed that it does matter what we do.

We've got all of our committee that is going to recommend ratification, which is going to happen in the next five days.

We will be continuing with that fact-finding as the committee goes forward.

This whole bid process has been a great experience for me personally. It's given me an even deeper appreciation of how much hockey means to such a broad cross-section of the Ottawa community. I felt it was very important for us to bring a strong delegation to Calgary. I'm confident we gave Hockey Canada and the site selection committee a lot to ponder on why the nation's capital would be the perfect backdrop for hosting the World Juniors.

This week's data is proof that the hawks in the Monetary Policy Committee are wrong, giving gilts support this week.

This weekend, the search committee took a look at all those applications and pared things down. We weighed the criteria we had and scored them. That helped us eliminate some people that really didn't meet what we were looking for.

This vote today in committee means that Judge Roberts will be voted on on the Senate floor next week, possibly on Thursday, and he is all but certain to be approved by a majority larger than 60 votes,

This verdict is wrong ... and according to the National Olympic committee is not acceptable. We will appeal the decision.

What I've been telling my teammates is let's go out and win. If we just go and lay down and get beat the first round, the (NCAA) Selection Committee is going to say, 'I told you. They can't even win a game in the NIT. What makes you think they deserved to be in the (NCAA) Tournament?' So I just told them let's go out and play hard and win it, just to prove everybody wrong.

We gave committee members some additional information without violating the principle that we had set forth, which is to limit a briefing on the full program.

We gained national attention because of the way our Unmet Needs Committee worked together. When we walked in that room and sat down at the table, agency agendas were put away to help people who needed it most.

We cannot make exceptions unless the committee decides you are either in the three mile radius or you are out. There is always going to be somebody that's just outside the boundary.

We cannot comment on the partners or the progress of negotiations. We are in the process of filing our application to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

We want to get a feel for our membership. Actually, the committee is very upset with the company's latest and final offer. Our intent is to go out there and educate them on what's happening.

Through the Committee on Education and the Workforce, we need to ensure we are educating a future generation to achieve a workforce for the 21st century. I believe the best education solutions come from those closest to the students: state and local entities.

Twice now, successive governors, after their election and inauguration, have fired directors of the Committee of Consumer Services,

To have a trustee act as an additional member of the search committee and not be on the search committee, I think is cumbersome. It's inelegant,

We've been somewhat deliberate in our movement with this, because we have kind of used ? I don't want to say a committee approach ? but we've used a kind of a community approach where we've gotten involvement from a lot of different people in groups associated with the university.

We welcome this opportunity to have initial discussions with the committee, following their vote to proceed with an inquiry, and we are interested in hearing from the committee about its plans and procedures for going forward,

We try to run a clean program, so we consider any violation 'serious' if it's proven to be true, ... But right now, these are just allegations. The committee will meet with the NCAA to determine the number of possible violations and their nature.

We expect this bill to have strong bipartisan support and since it was introduced by the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member, it will have the legs to move through Committee quickly.

We feel like we still have some work to do to get into the tournament, and we have a huge opportunity in front of us to show the committee that we're worthy of getting in.

To be given a nine seed, the highest ever for a team from the Patriot League, shows that our program earned the respect of the selection committee and college basketball followers across the country.

There have been press reports of civil actions against your firm involving multi-million dollar settlements that occurred during the time you were either managing partner or president of the firm, about which the Committee would like to have more information.

We are very pleased to have John join our Board. He is an accomplished financial executive whose extensive experience as a financial advisor, senior corporate executive and auditor will be a great asset to both the Audit Committee and our company as a whole. We look forward to working with John and drawing on his wealth of experience and insight.

We are going to file a brief opposing their motion to stay all court proceedings unless they allow the committee into the arbitration.

We are going to be running back by committee unless somebody really steps up and asserts themselves.

Boston Scientific plans to implement all the recommendations that apply to manufacturers. In particular, we believe an industry-wide, independent committee of outside experts should be established.

Even if the committee carried the message in the exact words with no words missing, but left out the persuasion of gesture, the supplicating tone, and the beseeching looks which inform the words and give them life, where then were the power of the arguments and whom would it convince?

Berti Vogts is gone and David Taylor and all the old fuddy-duddies on the SFA committee should be next to go.

Between that committee and the principals, they will form an interview committee and go from there.

Biazon basically stated what I would have stated if I were chairman of the committee on national defense which I was two years ago,

Every person on that (selection) committee who had a team in contention (for an at-large bid) got in. It opened our eyes. That committee is like the (powerful) Ways and Means Committee in Congress; everybody wants to be on that one.

Every member of this committee should be offended by the ... wild spin that was just put on by Mr. Lindsey in attempting to somehow send a message to Monica Lewinsky that she has been undermined by the president of the United States and thus set her up to be angry at the president in case she's called as a witness, ... We're no fools.
