Committee Quotations | Page 3

There is an alternative that is being worked on that is not ready for discussion now, and members on the committee and others in the Congress are carrying on conversations to report to myself and (House Minority) Leader (Dick) Gephardt tomorrow afternoon. We will try to craft an alternative that is both fair and prompt,

There is an aggressiveness coming out of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that I haven't seen in the past.

There aren't numbers I can compare there, just relationships. The committee felt Michelle probably had a better chance of winning a medal. The mission of the international committee is to win medals.

Unless we feel totally totally opposed to the legislation we should allow legislation to go to select committee to give the public an opportunity to have a say.

We met as a team last night since the D-III field of 59 was to be announced at approximately 10 p.m. I told my team I felt we had a 50-50 chance of being selected while understanding that the NCAA Selection Committee could chose Maryville over Huntingdon. After the NCAA press release arrived on our laptops the players were stunned that Maryville was selected over us after we had won two games versus them in the last 13 days, including the GSAC Tournament Championship.

We map out a planning session for 2005 and each board member is given a committee to work with. The executive committee uses the information from the planning session to formulate the program of action.

We look forward to presenting our information to the committee and showing them our tires are safe.

We made what we believe is a good bid. We're pleased that the committee selected our bid. We'll now move forward into the next round, where we'll find out a lot more information about the company.

Hudson's Bay board has carefully considered the recommendation by its special committee and advisors, and unanimously recommends that security holders reject the offers.

I acknowledged that concern, and it is for that reason that the Intelligence Committee is going to begin this effort, trying to limit the scope and the overall review of what happened,

He ( Cornyn) understands that she's required to submit the information that the committee needs to make its decision.

He knew better. He'd be found guilty, and his family would be on their own. We don't have to worry about it, ... do we? The committee wants to know why you go out.

He is warning the markets that the Federal Open Market Committee will very likely continue to raise short-term interest rates, given the continued growth in the economy.

Greenspan continued to be the most influential committee member. However, his dominance was markedly diminished, in that his total market impact was 'only' about twice as large as the next FOMC member.

Greenspan continued to be the most influential committee member.

has an obligation to answer tough questions from the committee about whether his views have changed and whether he would advance a particular ideological position that is contrary to decades of legal precedent.

I would think that the committee would certainly look at that and say that South Carolina has done well and deserves a chance to be part of this new format. I don't think it would be automatic. I think a lot would depend on how we play in our next couple of games, win or lose.

I would not reconsider the nuclear cuts. The appropriations committee did due process in looking at where there was the ability to cut some spending and that's what we did and now it's time to look forward to fiscal year '12.

I would submit to you that Medicaid in its current form is already hurting the poor, ... This committee will not stand by and do nothing while Medicaid slowly collapses.

Just look at the Judiciary Committee, ... You have some people on the Judiciary Committee who may well decide not to send the nomination to the floor, and now it all depends on what Democrats do.

Just look at teams like Hofstra and Michigan that didn't get in (the NCAA Tournament). We have to be happy. The Committee has a tough job.

Just who the committee deems is the better quality team.

I think it kind of got everybody's attention when it failed and we established a new citizens committee that really stepped up and helped us pass it this time.

I think it is unfortunate that some of the proposals being discussed single out the Appropriations Committee in regard to earmark reform. Chairman Cochran hopes any reform measures that the Senate adopts will provide parity across committees and reflect Congress's constitutional responsibility to direct the appropriation of funds.

It appears that the European Union and other Basel Committee member countries are on course to launch the new approach in 2008, while the United States will implement at least one year later.

I think it's going to be good, but I don't know if the committee has had enough time to make it spectacular,

I think it's important that the committee sometimes hear from the dark side. Those of us from that perspective can add some insights that might not otherwise be available to a body like this.

It comes down to where the committee thinks the greatest need is.

It is absolutely imperative that ... a new committee member be found who can spend their time focused on intelligence and the defense of our country.

I think the FDA advisory committee was asleep at the switch, ... The question is, did they not get it, or did they get it and were not willing to stand their ground?

I think the chief justice is pushing hard to fund that and five other new judges throughout the state, but with Medicaid Part D, there?s still no telling if the funding will be available. My understanding is the Legislative Fiscal Office is dealing with that committee right now.

I think the facilities committee could work more with the construction manager and the oversight committee. We could work together and report back to the board.

I think the efforts of the zoning committee are very much appreciated.

Labor markets are very strong and payroll employment should rise by 200,000 or more in February. The Federal Open Market Committee will continue to raise interest rates.

I think we lost sight here. The committee has done a great job in my mind. . . . Quit criticizing and complaining because there's a good time going on here.

I think we have to win our tournament. Normally, a committee looks at how you finish. They already have us down as a team that's capable of beating some top teams.

I think that one of the criticisms of this committee has been statements like you just made, talking about scandalous procedures and scandalous operations and rules and everything else,

I think what you're seeing is some Democrats on the committee trumping up allegations and making unsubstantiated accusations against someone the president believes will do an outstanding job at the United Nations." ()

I think, ultimately, this committee can report out a bill.

It is not that (the committee was) recommending it. We were just saying that if the board is going to consider it, now is the time to do it.

It is not, perhaps, generally known that a committee has been formed in Sydney, to advise settlers as to the best mode of proceeding on arrival there.

I think that's what encouraged the Board of Governors to ask to have a committee formed.

I think that the states will conclude that the committee proposals will help them better serve their beneficiaries, but in the event a state doesn't, this kind of flexibility may be helpful to states such as Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi right now,

It is hard to argue that it will have a significant impact on monetary policy, given that Mr Lambert had voted with the majority throughout his time on the Committee and that the rate decisions over the next few months do not look like being close-calls.

It is more than apparent to me that the White House has applied heavy pressure in recent days, in recent weeks, to prevent the committee from doing its job.

It is ironic that after a year in which over 55 million Americans' identities were put at risk through preventable data breaches, the House Financial Services Committee would repeal state laws that have protected consumers from identity theft.

It is in process and we are awaiting final approval from the organizing committee and the international federation.

It is, in a sense, the story of his presidency. This is the decision he made, he made it all alone. There was no committee vote,

I want to try and go into this committee with an open mind,

I was a little disturbed reading that it was a done deal. The last time I checked, the School Committee sets policy, which is what I think will ultimately happen regarding sports banquets.

It is a very controversial thing because there is a fine line between what's appropriate and what's not. Our committee didn't have an easy job. One person interprets 'air ball' and 'warm up the bus' as very positive and a fun thing. Another person says it's offensive and our kids get their feelings hurt.

It is amazing that after being told what the rules were on three occasions he went and did it again in April (with DNA Bioscience) and did not consult the committee again,

It is a wonderful job the committee volunteers have done getting the downtown refurbished after the hurricanes.

I think there is a consensus on the committee that we do not (support) the criminalization of a large number of people.

Just as the search committee rallied around this selection, I'm convinced that all of our industry colleagues will also find David Rehr the right person to lead NAB.

I think each member of the committee is an outstanding scientist, and each is sincere ... but they're missing the broader view we need to have of climate change,

I think everyone went into last year hoping for the best. I think if you had polled the folks on the committee or others of what to expect, they would have been a little anxious and nervous.

I saw no problem in the beginning or throughout the process. Obviously there was no problem because the ethics committee approved the arrangement.

I respect the decision of the School Committee members.

I resign for a fundamental reason. Against my strong advice, you decided to depart from your usual professional decision-making by accepting the invitation of the House Judiciary Committee to appear ... and serve as an aggressive advocate for the proposition that the evidence ... demonstrates that the president committed impeachable offenses.

Our interpretation of the results of the survey seem to indicate residents would like the Governance Steering Committee to focus on a long-term solution. There doesn't appear to be an immediate desire to make changes.

Over the next number of weeks, the committee will make decisions on which of the allegations are infractions and decide on penalties.

Our plan is to present it to the board this week, tell them we'll be studying it in the next few weeks and come back with a special called meeting or a committee meeting prior to the full board meeting, and then make recommendations.

Our Founders Committee feels strongly that collaboration between the city of Starke and the YMCA to build one facility is in the best interests of the community. Not only will the limited resources of both parties not be wasted on the duplication of construction of two similar facilities, but combining our resources will expedite the process considerably.

Overall this a committee that are on hold for the foreseeable future as they seem comfortable while near-term growth is at trend and inflation is close to target.

Out of 60 CUD control committee members, the government decided to arrest only 25 suspected of being involved in violence,

Our (bargaining) committee saw a big difference right away out on the production floor and in general meetings. They're was more of a personal aspect to it.

Our community's understanding of the nature of transactional functions in a service-oriented system has improved considerably over the past few years, ... This new committee provides a very clear set of components for those functions. We are delighted to see the work brought into open standardization, which will help make its usefulness and connections to other methods obvious.

Our committee has a lot of work to do before we truly think about implementing a guest worker program in this country. I say that because our Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents drive by day-labor centers knowing that illegal aliens loiter the street corner in search of illegal work but do nothing. I don't know how we can reasonably create a system for 10 million illegal aliens when we cannot currently handle the workload on our desks.

Rep. Johnson abused the public trust by using the power of his office to harass an organization which had taken a position with which he disagreed. Such actions are specifically prohibited by federal law and ethics rules and the House ethics committee should immediately commence an investigation into Rep. Johnson's disgraceful conduct.

Rep. Jefferson's conduct shows a blatant disregard for the rule of law and the integrity of the House of Representatives. We urge a member of the House to ignore the long-standing ethics truce and file CREW's complaint with the House Ethics Committee today.

Resolution of these issues may require Major General Miller to appear again before the Committee to provide testimony under oath while his still on active duty.

Recent FDA actions have created serious doubts about whether committee members are serving only the public interest and, as a result, industry biases now taint many advisory panel decisions, ... Today we took a giant step forward to squash those doubts.

Recommendations were made from the survey which will be used to develop more culturally relevant services for victims of domestic violence. A committee was also formed as a result and out of that other tools may be developed.

Our party has established a three-member committee to hold talks.

Part of what we do in the meetings is deal with business from the Senate Committee on Academic Affairs. A part of their job is approving new classes.

People met as a committee informally, but as of Dec. 1, the remodeling was still an 'if'.

Texans for a Republican Majority did tender cause to be delivered and delivered to the Republican National Committee a check in the amount of $190,000, the check being for the same bank...

My thought process is, we need more time. I'd like to see a committee formed. There's a lot of misinformation out there, and it would be in the best interest of everyone to have the facts before a decision is made for or against.

My opinion is that a whole new (executive) committee has to be selected. (One) that hires a professional search team (to find a replacement for Goodenow) and go from there. And Ted can put his name in the hat. This is not about Ted Saskin. It is about doing things properly and 700 guys being happy at the end of the day.

Nancy's goal is to provide full public disclosure of every aspect of this case, ... The committee will meet (in closed session). At that point, it will resolve details regarding a public hearing.

National Airport had been considered to be Congress' baby, ... Maybe ... because it was only a few minutes from a committee hearing to the boarding ramp.

My preference would be to get it over with this year, ... If the Judiciary Committee doesn't complete its work next week it would be pretty certain it would have to be carried over.

My personal discussions with Judge Roberts, as well as his responses during the Judiciary Committee hearings, have convinced me that he respects precedents and will apply the law and Constitution fairly,

Market speculation about an end to US interest rate rises has risen after the minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting from March.

Markets are confident that the Fed will raise rates another 25 basis points at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The real story will be, not if the Fed raises rates, but what it says when it does it.

I wish I had the same kind of outrage on the Republican side of this failure of the Republican National Committee and the Dole campaign to produce materials vital to this investigation.

I was the oldest member of the Second Continental Congress. I was on a committee to draft the declaration of why we deserved to seek our independence. I saw many, many changes made to that declaration. Mr. Jefferson, who wrote it, was a little upset about some of that, but we talked about it, and he realized that the changes were necessary, if for no other reason, than to make each one of us a part of that document.

I was incredibly saddened and disappointed that this person who had devoted her life to the legal profession never had a chance to go before the Senate Judiciary Committee and get a hearing,

I think, if you were to hold the vote today, she would not get a majority, either in the Judiciary Committee or on the floor,

I think most people are granting her, according her, the benefit of the doubt, subject to the time she has to appear before the committee to make her case in person,

I think our body of work is deserving. I believe in the selection committee and I believe they'll make the right choices. If we're in, it's the right thing. If we're not, it's the right thing and you won't hear me moaning and groaning.

It doesn't seem different to me; they're two national teams. Xavier should be ranked and Cincinnati has been ranked. If the selection committee met today, both would be NCAA tournament teams.

It does have next committee stops, and we'll be trying to work on it then, trying to preserve property rights for the business community.

It is committee meetings, called huddles, separated by outbursts of violence.

Many and most of the nontraditional high schools do have integrity and do provide a quality education. But it is clear that some do not. The committee recognizes that these are real problems. We know the abuses are going on as we speak, and I think there's a great sense of urgency among all of the members of the committee to take on these issues as quickly as possible.

I might have been too hasty at the Finance Committee meeting. It would be good to pay for trustees and their spouses and for the award winners. However, I would not like to see us pay for drinks for alcoholic beverages.

The advance sellout of the 93rd Grey Cup game speaks to the hard work and efforts of the 2005 Grey Cup organizing committee and reinforces the growing strength of the CFL across the entire country. As we head into our Thanksgiving Classic weekend and with the race for playoffs building with excitement, we look forward to once again celebrating Canada's championship with fans around the world.

The advance sell-out of the 93rd Grey Cup game speaks to the hard work and efforts of the 2005 Grey Cup Organizing Committee and reinforces the growing strength of the CFL across the entire country, ... As we head into our Thanksgiving Classic weekend and with the race for playoffs building with excitement, we look forward to once again celebrating Canada's Championship with fans around the world.

The AMFA negotiating committee has not agreed to this proposal,
