 I've never said that before to a living soul, but I felt obliged to say it to you now, |
| in the immediate future. |
| It certainly has been [an intense week]. And I must say I had no expectation that we would "hit the ground running," as we say in America - that things would be so intense so fast. |
| It has always had a good turnout in the past and we are hoping for the same this year. |
| It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble, and I see no evidence of a cover-up here, ... What did the president know and when did he know it? |
| It is not our purpose to second-guess what other agencies are doing or what the department's doing, but rather to make sure that we know the facts as best they can be ascertained, and to make appropriate recommendations to the secretary and to the president on how this can be avoided, how other challenges to national security may be dealt with, |
| Mr. President, I am not being disloyal to you, ... Everybody in this room can perish politically (if we don't get out of Vietnam quickly). |
| My own view is that the act ought to expire. We ought to write out a clean slate. We ought to cool off, ... Let some time go by so we can consider the relative merits of the proposals that will no doubt be presented. |
| On the bad loans themselves, all I will say is that we had a similar situation in the United States in the eighties with our Savings and Loan, and we did approach it with a variety of tools, but the principle one was a federal agency that in effect took over those bad loans and took them out of the bank, packaged them, and then managed to merchandise them, to sell them. |
| Permit me the last luxury of saying that in my imperfect best judgment, we've got to have the people of the United States convinced that that war is over by this fall, or we're out of business, |
| The most difficult thing in any negotiation, almost, is making sure that you strip it of the emotion and deal with the facts. And there was a considerable challenge to that here and understandably so. |
| The President said at Camp David that he embraced the reform movement as described by the Prime Minister. And the President of course will speak for himself. I imagine that he supports the Prime Minister in his general efforts to reform the structure and procedures of this economy so that the economy can move forward. America prospers when Japan prospers. |
| The United States has led in all these things, been in the vanguard of the development of the techniques. So it seems to me that the United States should not be thought of as dragging its foot on environmental quality, but rather questioning the appropriateness of a treaty that has never been submitted to the Senate for debate and consideration. |
| The welfare of the planet and its environment is paramount. But what we do, and do equally and evenhandedly, is more difficult to identify. I have no doubt in mind that President Bush is serious in his determination to reexamine the overall issue and that would include reexamining the language of the Kyoto treaty. |
| This man is in terrible shape, ... His health circumstances are really barely short of extreme, and I have no doubt that he's in need of skillful medical attention. |
