Officials Quotes from:
-
Access Quotes
Gale Norton has been a great advocate of protecting private property rights and improving the public's access to public lands. She has been a friend and ally of our movement. She has several major accomplishments, including the Healthy Forests Act which protects both people and forests from out of control wildfires, endorsing Endangered Species Act reforms to make the law work for a change, sharply reducing federal land acquisition because the government already owns too much, and greatly increasing the role of land owners and local elected officials in decision making processes.

Barely Quotes
If it shows anything, it shows that for whatever reason, and perhaps part of it was the timing, was that officials were not just very successful in mobilizing voters. If you can't even mobilize your governor, then don't complain about the person barely making minimum wage who decides he's not going to leave work early and wait in line somewhere in order to go vote,

Achieve Quotes
If those of us in positions of leadership do our jobs to make and keep our companies competitive; and if all of us demand that our elected officials do their part to enact and enforce policies that will level the playing field, there's no doubt in my mind that we can achieve the competitiveness of Japan, or the improved energy self-sufficiency of Brazil.

Block Quotes
If the tobacco officials had really changed, ... they would not have waited until Minnesota secured a court order to mandate the documents' release, and if tobacco officials had really changed, they would not perpetuate their cover-up by continuing to block our efforts to uncover 39,000 documents containing their deepest, darkest secrets.
-
Economic Quotes
If such an oil shock occurred, the risk of a hard landing would increase. Fed officials would be faced with conflicting objectives -- on one hand offsetting the restraint exerted by higher oil prices on economic activity, and on the other hand keeping inflationary expectations in check.
-
Expect Quotes
He is going to have an incentive to give a lot of information about others that will help him at sentencing. The way this has been moving, it's been speeding up at the end. You would expect public officials to start to go in the next month; at least one of them. There's not that much left to do.
-
Confirm Quotes
He is creating a situation that doesn't exist. Maybe he should request that the league release results of officials' performance evaluations so fans, players and owners can see how wonderful a job they actually do. The officials do a good job overall. This would be his opportunity to confirm it to all.
-
Actions Quotes
We support a vigorous program of enforcement by state and federal officials to ensure that our products are used safely. Today's actions by the state of Florida demonstrate that regulatory officials continue to monitor and enforce the nation's rigorous pesticide laws. By following EPA's rules, we are confident that both public health and the environment are protected. This is proof that the regulatory system works and violators will not be tolerated.

Answered Quotes
Hate crimes send a message of fear, and Congress answered with a powerful law enforcement tool, ... Members of the House, Democrats and Republicans alike, historically signaled today that local law enforcement officials deserve the tools this bill would provide toward fighting the scourge of hate crimes.
-
Against Quotes
Guys disagreed with some of the calls. Guys felt that the play they could have made they didn't get a chance to make because of the defense that was against them, ... and (they) reacted in what I would consider a negative fashion because it takes you out of your ball game. You can't be yelling at the officials and all those other things, so I think it hurt us. But it was that kind of a ball game.
-
Broad Quotes
Good disaster response planning requires broad involvement of several community groups. Pediatricians, local school officials, school nurses, public health officials, emergency officials and school physicians should work together to improve the preparedness of schools for the unwelcome possibility of a mass casualty event.
-
Discuss Quotes
There are obvious alternatives if we are going to move to another stadium on a temporary basis. There is Easter Road, Dunfermline's ground and Murrayfield but we will discuss the matter with the fans and the shareholders before anything happens. We've not entered into any formal talks with the officials at these grounds because it's far too early to do that.
-
Arena Quotes
We look forward to working closely with the Penguins as well as state and local officials as we move through the application process. Redevelopment of the Lower Hill and Uptown Districts will return the neighborhood to the community, and funding a new multi-purpose arena will keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh, making this project a win/win for the entire community. At the Isle, we believe that downtown Pittsburgh will become the best entertainment venue in the region.

Behind Quotes
Just too slow. It took us 5 hours to play. ... Around the greens it just took forever to play. Toward the end, it took its toll. I had a partner that wasn't very fast, either. ... I have a pace and I play to my pace. I don't know what the officials are doing. We had 20, 25 minutes behind time, they are just not stepping up and saying, 'Hey, you are slow. Hurry up.
-
Aggressive Quotes
Journalists seem to be much more effective than the administration in representing the public's reactions to the disaster. Clueless federal officials seem to know less about what is happening than the journalists do, and sometimes less than an average TV viewer. This tips the balance of power toward the press, which is why we see such aggressive questioning and on-air criticism close to jeering.
-
County Quotes
I was disappointed that the elected officials at the meeting seemed unconcerned with the obvious illegality of providing off-the-books jobs for illegal aliens. Instead, they should be passing legislation to provide training for local and county police departments to enforce our immigration laws.
-
Achieve Quotes
I was especially pleased to see the commitment of credit union officials to help their members and communities with special check-cashing services and lending considerations. NCUA is working closely with all affected credit unions to ensure they have the necessary resources to achieve and maintain safe and sound operational status going forward. We encourage credit unions to evaluate the benefits of joining a shared branching network, because many of the credit unions that were able to regain operations and serve their members, were able to do so through shared branching.
-
Civil Quotes
It is not very often that rallies of the size we are talking about take place in Washington. This will be a major initiative and will send a very important message to our elected officials and diplomats that the Jewish community and other faith-based organizations and civil rights groups will not sit idly by this time with this genocide. Time is really running out, so it is important to galvanize and to send a strong message.
-
Answer Quotes
I will listen and if I can't provide an answer, I'll find one and get back (to them). There are several organizations that have been ignored and nobody told them why. That's one thing I believe in, if someone asks you a question, you need to know an answer or find one out. Voters want to hear back from their officials and want officials to give them the time of day.

Against Quotes
Last week, there were comments from other Japanese officials which seem to imply that the Bank of Japan was standing back to some extent from the previous policy of intervening. And it wouldn't be completely against the wishes of the U.S. Treasury if the dollar were to weaken a little bit further. It would actually keep the pressure on Japan to reform.
