I think it's unfair to blame President Bush here, ... What I would blame is the bureaucratic red tape throughout the system that is out of control with little credibility and way too turf-conscience. Rather than point fingers in blame, the state and the federal governments need to develop a new emergency system.
There appears to be, at this time, no contamination of the air, ... We were able to control any potential damage. On the whole, it appears the Hanford facility has survived a major (disaster).
The foreign visitors program is important to our national security, ... We want Russian scientists to know how they should control their nuclear weapons.... Let's not get hysterical and overreach.
Our future will not be determined by chance, but rather by the choices we make today, and in the days and weeks ahead.
Our critical security systems are operational. All our Energy Department nuclear materials are secure, ... Some of the high explosives are kept in concrete bunkers surrounded by earth and we don't see any problem.
Our community is becoming more mainstream and that's how I would appeal to those voters.
I support the offshore oil and gas leasing moratoriums that the Bush Administration has continued off coastal states including California and Florida. Now I want to ask the coastal states, the Bush Administration, and Congress to support leasing moratoriums for some ecologically sensitive onshore areas, as well.
I support the decision of the Justice Department that leads us to hopefully recover whatever happened to those tapes.
It could spark the production of supercomputers that fit into the palm of your hand or tiny devices to fight disease and repair injuries from inside our bodies,
I strongly believe that we made progress in our discussions in North Korea on the diplomatic front, on the nuclear front, on the humanitarian front,
It is clear the world needs more oil, ... Saudi Arabia has shown a lot of leadership in the need for more production, and hopefully the rest of OPEC will follow suit.
I'm staying. It's very fluid right now, ... We're working on several alternatives that would keep the base open.
It could be the case that one of these individuals misplaced the drives, ... What we now have is a potential cover-up, or some other factors that have to be determined.
It is clear that we have to have a comprehensive strategy,
