Activity Quotes
It does not surprise me that the new secretary would take a look at that situation. What does surprise me is that there would be further sanctions after the State Attorney's Office in Tallahassee said they were not convinced that criminal activity had occurred, but I am not privy to everything the new secretary knows.

Award Quotes
I'm here on behalf of the secretary of defense to present the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with an award that signifies the importance of when corporations and communities reach out and support our military members and their families. We're thrilled to be here tonight to highlight the long tradition of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and their support for our military.

Came Quotes
That was a shocker to see that, especially so soon after it happened. On the day it happened, our secretary had a sister who worked in the building, and she came flying out, screaming and yelling. And a couple of the players, Wayne Chrebet and Vinny Testeverde, had friends who worked in there. That was a deal where it hit our team pretty hard, and we were so close to it anyway.
-
Change Quotes
That whole issue of 'Can a woman be tough enough?' has plagued women candidates. That's starting to change. We've had experience with Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright as secretary of State. (Shuttle commander) Eileen Collins lands on Earth and looks like she just took a Ferris wheel ride. Those things change the perception of what women can do.
-
Ability Quotes
We have the philosophy that everything contributes to performance in the classroom. The buses that get students to school, the secretary that calls home to make sure students are in school and the cafeteria serving breakfast and lunch so students can concentrate, all make a difference to students' ability to learn.

Attending Quotes
The president has been filmed bicycling around the neighborhood and he has personally attested to spending time fishing and attending little-league baseball games. ... Keep in mind, also, that White House press secretary Scott McClellan recently proclaimed about the president's vacation in Crawford, that 'Spending time outside Washington gives the president a fresh perspective of what's on the minds of the American people. It's a time, really, for him to shed the coat and tie and meet with folks out in the heartland and hear what's on their minds.' Possibly, you may have to actually talk to people to find out what's on their mind.

Adoption Quotes
the President and directing the Secretary of State to transmit to the House of Representatives not later than 14 days after the date of the adoption of this resolution all information in the possession of the President and the Secretary of State relating to communication with officials of the United Kingdom between January 1, 2002, and October 16, 2002, relating to the policy of the United States with respect to Iraq.
-
Achievement Quotes
Unfortunately, today's action doesn't bring the state any closer to closing its achievement gap, which is among the largest in the nation. From the day she walked in the door, Secretary Spellings has worked diligently to listen and respond to states' needs and concerns, and she has kept her word to help states implement No Child Left Behind in a workable, common-sense way.
-
Actively Quotes
When Gov. Warner announced his Virginia Works initiative last spring, we actively advocated with the governor and the secretary of commerce and trade that the Artisans Center be the lead organization for that initiative. We weren't successful with that, even though we did get the secretary and the Department of Housing and Community Development to remember that there is an Artisans Center of Virginia that should be an integral part of anything that they do related to the works of artisans anywhere in Virginia.
-
Crisis Quotes
The real solution to this crisis is a true and meaningful Nuclear Free Zone in the Middle East, not one which is paid lip service to. It is a vital first step towards removing all nuclear proliferation risks in the region, as well as providing the essential security guarantees from nuclear weapons states outside the region. If we don't seriously contemplate this option then the world will, as UN Secretary General Kofi Annan pointed out a few days ago, lurch from nuclear crisis to nuclear crisis.
-
Absence Quotes
When lies must be told, they should be told by subordinate officials. At no point should the president be asked to lend himself to the cover operation. There seems to me merit in Secretary Rusk's suggestion that someone other than the president make the final decision and do so in his absence -- someone whose head can later be placed on the block if things go terribly wrong.
-
Abu Quotes
We're never going to know the truth until they do an independent commission or look into this independently, ... This is about instructions delivered with full authority and knowledge of the Secretary of Defense and probably Cheney. I don't know if the President was involved or not. I don't care. All I know is, those instructions were communicated from the Secretary of Defense's office, from the Pentagon, through Cambone, through Miller, to Abu Ghraib.

Among Quotes
We had some terrific meetings including one with the NHTSA Administrator and the Secretary of Transportation. The NTEA decided to host this event to raise the profile of all of the associations and to educate the decision-makers in DC that the motor vehicle industry is more than just the big passenger-car manufacturers. The day was a great success and hopefully, it will be the beginning of many more joint efforts among the associations.
-
Agreed Quotes
We cannot but welcome this effort of the Secretary General. It is something the President of the Republic himself has repeatedly requested from the Secretary General. Our effort is to avoid a hasty new process of negotiations,which would fail in no time, because that would be a catastrophe for Cyprus. That is why we are insisting on properly preparing the ground, creating the necessary conditions so that when a new process begins there would truly be realistic prospects to lead this process to an agreed solution and this is what we expect the UN Secretary General to do.

Attracting Quotes
Through this summit, secretary Rice and secretary Spellings and their respective departments want to reach out to college and university presidents to reinforce a common interest in attracting foreign students and scholars to US institutions. Of equal importance is seeking investment in educating globally competitive US students to work in fields of international interest.
-
Agenda Quotes
As the news this morning of increased joblessness and earlier reports of exploding deficit and debt reveal, the president's economic policy is a disaster. Obviously, the secretary of the treasury and Mr. Lindsey are being sacrificed to protect the president. Sadly, the removal of these economic officials will do nothing if they are simply replaced with yes-men committed to the president's relentlessly partisan agenda of pushing tax cuts at the expense of all else.

Award Quotes
I spent over five years fighting crime for the Secretary of State Police on the streets of East St. Louis, earning both a lifesaving award and the Secretary of State's Medal of Honor during that time. We like to think that Macoupin County is safe from the problems of the big city, but unfortunately, violent crimes and methamphetamine production are on the rise in rural areas. My experience working in St. Clair and Madison counties will better able me to confront methamphetamine production and violent crime head-on while still understanding the rural needs of Macoupin County.

Chinese Quotes
The words 'stakeholder' upgraded China's status in foreign relations and the global system. The only uncertainty in Chinese circles is whether it represents the ideas of the administration. Does the key term 'stakeholder' also represent the ideas of Secretary (of State Condoleezza) Rice, or the thinking of the President himself?
