Recent Quotations | Page 5

It can be hard to get large and expensive projects approved in a federal budget. The recent events show that it is better to make the investment before a disaster occurs.

I think it's been demonstrated by the recent travesty we've had and the horrible results of the tremendous damages that are going on right now, so I'm really re-evaluating our approach, because the thing has gotten so bad. There's no apparent desire to change. We're going to have to go to war.

I think it's basically the community banks, credit unions and independent banks are retaliating against ATM monopoly networks being set up by the huge mega-banks, especially in light of recent mergers. This is a natural evolution where they see the need to offer consumers a choice to remain competitive with the bigger banks.

I think it's an excellent deal for the city of North Adams, ... It relieves the city of taxes, allows us to boost up our reserves, which have been beaten up over recent years, and allows us to retain our water rights. I'm very confident that the watershed, being in the hands of the Forest Service, will be protected indefinitely.

It could be this reflects the recent rebound in energy prices that possibly made people a little more cautious again.

It certainly sounds as if he's getting pulled into Chuck Schumer's demands for unprecedented specificity in case law. To discuss recent cases and controversies and to have the Senate attempt to reject or confirm nominees based on a checklist of how they would rule on individual cases is clearly an attack on the judiciary's independence.

It is a hugely important deal for Airbus in what is a very important market. It builds on the success we've had in recent years.

I think the market is holding up pretty well after the recent rally, ... The economic news was mixed today, and investors are eyeing Ivan and the price of oil.

I think the major issue that it always boils down to is ongoing earnings opportunities. The cellular business has been the primary driver in more recent years, but we think cellular will become increasingly competitive.

It (his visit) means something, but any issue should and will be resolved through both side's governmental channels. But his visit will certainly assist in solving recent pending issues like North Korea's nuclear issue and create a good atmosphere for the next inter-Korean summit later this year.

I think the game itself has gotten better over the recent years. The reason why is I think the players are now taking the game a little bit more seriously and really trying to win the game.

I think the economy is already in the process of slowing to a more moderate pace. Oil has both an immediate impact on spending and lagging impacts. Even though oil has stabilized in recent weeks, we still have to play out effects. We're still waiting for the shock value of the winter heating bills hitting people.

It is clear from recent events -- including the program the president is announcing this morning to improve and strengthen the duties of those whose conduct is at the core of our securities markets -- that the SEC critically needs to receive additional money in fiscal 2003 to fully fund pay parity and that we should be authorized to add new staff to address pressing immediate needs,

I think we're going to be right about where we have been in recent years, but we'll have to wait until all the numbers come in.

I think we know corporate profit growth can't stay at the rate we've seen in recent quarters. They (employers) have been squeezing the work force pretty aggressively, squeezing productivity out of workers and holding the line on wages. It's a matter of how much corporate profits slow down.

I think we can see the market continue to move up through the summer, but it's going to depend on the earnings and the economic news. We should begin to see some evidence of an economic pick-up in the July data, which will start to come out early August. Second-quarter earnings look to be favorable, judging by the estimates and the fact that there have been less negative pre-announcements than in recent quarters.

I think we have to be a bit guarded here, given all the journalists who have been put behind bars in recent months. It may be that someone somewhere has decided that it must be shown the system can show a little leniency now and then.

I think we've had some success in recent years. Free agency, again, is not a panacea. It's not how you build your football team. It's part of the equation, and this year, even with the uncertainty, is no different.

I think we've fallen away from that in recent years and I think Edward is quite right to say 'hang on, this is always been at the centre of Conservatism'.

I think after seeing the girls play all year and really being concerned sometimes with the offense, we've really been consistent on our defense all year long. We've held a lot of teams under 35 points. That's really been our consistency all year. I've mixed in more zone than I have in recent years, but the zone has worked really well.

I think it's pretty much built into the market the Fed will raise rates by 25 percentage points, ... If they don't, that may upset the market, particularly since some of the recent (economic) reports have been weaker.

I think it's right and proper for the Moderator to speak out on matters of great public interest. Too often in the recent past Moderators have failed to do so.

I think this race is going to be aggressive. There are a number of teams out there that have solid riders that are going make the race fast. They aren't going to sit in the pack and have the slower (teams) stay around. From the start, this race is going to be played out to be one of the fastest races in recent years.

I think this is too new and too recent in people's memories for it to become a day that turns into that and not a day of reflection. Linking his memory to a sale would seem really ... opportunistic.

I think to an extent we've taken for granted the last few Fed meetings, and next week's meeting takes on more significance, ... A quarter-point hike is pretty much expected, but I think the relative bumpiness of the recent economic news could mean the Fed will indicate that rates may not rise as aggressively last year as people had been thinking.

It is only in recent years that many of the potential immunological problems, such as transplant rejection, have been solved, meaning the process of transplanting organs from one species into another could soon be a reality,

I think some of the consensus numbers are a little stale some of the estimates that go into that don't reflect the recent thinking many analysts have about Morgan Stanley.

It is hard to make the case that the inflation threat from import prices is serious. The trend is clearly not as good as in the recent past, but it is not bad enough to cause any problems on its own.

It is important to note that the divergence between actual export growth and export order growth has become increasingly evident in recent months.

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 hugely to his credit that he took the initiative in approaching the selectors before Christmas to discuss how he could improve all aspects of his game and we are delighted with the progress he has made following his recent trip to Adelaide.

I think they'll qualify and I don't think the manager should be sacked despite all the media criticism. There clearly has to be a bit of rethink but I do believe, with the individuals they've got, that England are capable of doing very well. Hopefully they will examine their recent performances and their pride will stimulate them.

It is an honor to win again this award for our annual report, which is our prime marketing piece. We are pleased that the judges agreed with us that the report does an excellent job in highlighting the many recent economic development successes of High Point.

It is a national tragedy. This is the worst earthquake in recent times.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to deny that something profoundly different than the postwar business cycle has emerged in recent years,

I think there is a wait-and-see attitude about next week's Fed meeting. Investors are thinking that perhaps the recent weaker-than-expected employment report means that the Fed is near the end of its rate-hiking cycle, but I don't think that's the case.

I think the real story is that some of the demands coming from these players are absolutely outrageous, ... Baseball was on the right track until this recent spate of agreements.

Just as Americans came together to help the victims of recent Gulf Coast hurricanes, we must do whatever we can to help those suffering from natural disasters in other parts of the world.

Kohl's is struggling badly. Not only are the not meeting sales targets, there are several questions swirling about recent management changes,

Last week we saw oil give back a sizable amount of recent gains and I just think that given the fact that we have seen some weakness in oil prices as a result of that, that's weighed on the Canadian dollar as well,

Large caps are showing signs of correcting their earlier gains, indicating that the recent rally may be nearing its end.

I think every team goes through phases where they don't play quite as well, especially away from home. They probably haven't played as well in the last two games as they had been, but we've had numerous games like this as well. I don't know if the recent performances by either team will have much bearing on the game Saturday.

I think FedEx's stock will be under a little bit of pressure, because UPS will be comparing and contrasting numbers. UPS saw volume growth of 14.5 percent on overnight product in the most recent quarter. FDX saw only 3.9 percent. It's too early to tell if UPS is taking away market share, but that will be the implication that comes out on the road show.

I said before the match that I did not see them scoring three or four goals on the basis of their recent matches. And when you create three or four chances in the first 20 minutes and don't score, it is going to be a big mental problem.

Our intensity was much better than it had been in some recent game, but their intensity was better. It was just not our night. We were not willing to make the extra pass. We wanted to get everything off the first pass and that's what Lincoln wanted. Then we didn't shoot very well, either.

Our industry has sustainable long-term growth characteristics, despite the impact of recent events on short term trading.

Our schedule is unaffected by some of the recent changes that they've announced.

(Our girls) won every single individual and relay event, which hasn't been done in recent history. We just have really strong talent as far as girls go. We have top swimmers, so we took some chances on the relays. We were able to step up and win all three of them. It was a very exciting meet for us.

Our father was a very giving, caring person and a well-respected man in the community. Many folks knew him from the camera shop he owned until his retirement, but he was also an institution in town as a long-standing member of the Bucks County Historical Society. As recent as two years ago, he partnered with someone at the Mercer Museum where they poured over volumes of pictures of people and places he donated to the museum. The collection, which was dedicated to a lifetime of achievement, resulted in his receiving the Henry Chapman Mercer Award. It was quite an honor and justly deserved.

Overall this latest outturn is consistent with the recent favorable trend in consumer sentiment and would suggest solid gains in retail sales in the coming months.

Overall, the size of the Unix installed base appears to be flattening because of slowing unit volume growth and recent migration efforts within the worldwide Unix installed base.

Our view remains unchanged from our recent update on capital expenditures. We believe that in 2001 cap-ex will be up approximately 10 percent. We continue to forecast 17-18 percent industry growth in 2001. We expect the stocks to remain under pressure over the next few weeks as investors digest capital spending plans from carriers.

Out of the Fire: Recent work by Judy Wojcik and John Peterson

Our behavioral approach is repeatedly validated by its detection and mitigation of day-zero threats like this one. Even if a patch were available, IT administrators will be hesitant to implement it immediately, given the recent history of untested Microsoft patches bringing down networks. So IT has to decide between implementing untested patches, and letting the patch age, putting users' machines and thus the network's security in jeopardy.

Other than taxpayers, we might be one of the few winners in the recent unpleasantness.

Piracy on campuses has been a concern for quite a while, and we have been actively engaged in a number of efforts with universities to get the word out to students. This particular trend or growing problem is something that is a more recent development, and we are working on all fronts to stay on top of all means of piracy and addressing them.

Players have absolutely nothing to do with ticket prices. We had nothing to do with the recent decision to charge for Web broadcasts. These are management decisions, which management makes based on what each club or central baseball determines is the economic condition of the country and each market.

regardless of the conclusions that the department has reached concerning Microsoft's conduct, as of yet no court has found that Microsoft has violated the antitrust laws; to the contrary, the recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has raised serious questions about the validity of the department's antitrust suit against Microsoft.

Regardless of all the strife in this field and our complaining incessantly about national policy, and despite some recent events that have cast a shadow on this work, there's a great deal of excitement in this field.

Regarding some of the issues raised by Mr. Salinger in recent days, they are again a combination of falsehoods and claims that are only partially based on the truth and, when taken out of context, are completely misleading.

Several al Qaeda leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country through Mexico and also believe illegal entry is more advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons.

Recent information and further analysis leads our agency to conclude that the Southern Resident killer whale population is at risk of extinction, and should be listed as endangered. By giving it protection under the ESA, we have a better chance of keeping this population alive for future generations.
