John Kerry

Why would that not be something you would want to think about?

What is the definition of that? What would be the standard be that would be applied to that?

Could you find out and let us know?

To what degree is it true that right now, absent some kind of promise to the contrary, any kind of company or a mobile phone or an app operator, hotel, website, whatever it is, that they can do whatever they want with the personal…

I also want to commend Senator Kerry and Senator Klobuchar for their work on the Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights.

Last week, I introduced the Do-Not-Track online bill of 2011. I think that is a terrific bill.

These devices are not really phones, as Senator Kerry said. They are miniature computers.

We need to establish what we as a society, in a country that has always valued privacy, what we as a society believes is the sort of basic proper treatment of people's information.

I reject the notion that privacy protection is the enemy of innovation. It absolutely doesn't have to be and isn't.

We have, unfortunately, in the United States of America parenthetically, been going in the wrong direction.

We want to see this potential of the Internet unleashed all across the country as broadly as possible.

It is obviously one that attracts a lot of interest. It is a lot of money on the line, a lot of business, a lot of business practices, but also a lot of values, personal interests of Americans.

We support the bipartisan resolution drafted by Senators Kerry, McCain, Levin, Feinstein, Graham, Chambliss, and Lieberman.

I am optimistic that we can find a way forward that significantly changes the American footprint and secures our interests.

We owe it to them to develop a roadmap that allows us to responsibly transition to Afghan control.

I underscored the importance of seizing this moment to firmly reject an anti-American narrative that exploits our differences.

This relationship will not be measured by words, or by communiques after meetings... It will only be measured by actions.

It's clear to me that we need to be very careful and thoughtful, so that we get the policy right.

You need to decide what sort of country you're going to be, whether you're going to be a haven for terrorists.

The indications I have are that is broadly within the population, even people within the areas of Qadhafi control, they do not want him to stay and that there is a very broad-based Libyan people opposition to his presence.

Qadhafi must go to allow the people of Libya to chart their own future.

I am convinced that because of the actions taken by NATO and by the GCC, by the Arab League, and the opposition themselves, I believe that the Libyan people have been given a fighting chance for a better future.

The United States would not be placing boots on the ground.

But history teaches us that patience and persistence can pay off.

The proper authority ought to be sought by the President.
