At the moment, I am not auditioning for the job. What I am going -- undergoing is a process to look at how I can be best, most useful to the American people.

Finally, would the managers agree that section 105 of S. 3709 requires that the President determine, prior to exercising the waivers in section 104, that ``an agreement between India and the IAEA requiring the application of safeguards in…

I offered an amendment that the managers have already accepted pertaining to the supply of nuclear power reactor fuel in safeguarded, civilian nuclear facilities. To further clarify this issue, is it the managers' understanding that…

On a related note, is it the chairman's interpretation of the legislation that, in the event of a future nuclear test by the Government of India, nuclear power reactor fuel and equipment sales, and nuclear technology cooperation would…

Does the chairman believe that, as this agreement moves forward to the Nuclear Suppliers Group, NSG, the United States should work to ensure that other nations provide nuclear power reactor fuel in a similar fashion?

That is the true genius of America. A faith -- a faith in simple dreams. An insistence on small miracles. That we can tuck in our children at night and know that they're fed and clothed and safe from harm.

Nothing would happen -- that happened tonight would discourage me from -- from making that race.

I think we make a mistake when we fail to acknowledge the power of faith in people's lives.

Senator Clinton has been effective in trying to blur the distinctions. It really ends up speaking to how we are going to make decisions in the future.

I know that we will both continue to engage to push our government and the international community to do all it can to halt the violence in Darfur and, as part of our efforts, search to enact divestment language into law.

Has thought been given about raising the renewable fuel standard to reflect the fact that we're actually doing better than we might have anticipated

But you haven't issued any recommendations yet, but this is something that your office is investigating, at least, would that be accurate?

If you don't know, it would be great if you could get back to my office on it.

Yes, I know where they are. They're just too far away. We need more of them.

I have repeated many times that our dependence on foreign oil is not just an economic security issue but also a national security issue.

I'm sure many of these issues have already been raised.

But we have to do more.

The politicians have come, and they're clapping kind of off rhythm. To the choir. We don't need that.

If we're not talking about how our values inform our public policies, then we are going to be vulnerable to the accusation that we are secular and can't speak to the things that are important to people.

I think we make a mistake when we fail to acknowledge the power of faith in people's lives.

I wish to take a minute to offer my sincerest condolences to Senator Byrd on the passing of his beloved wife Erma. In a love story that is both moving and inspiring to all people, Robert Byrd's grade school sweetheart became his lifelong…

Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has…
