"You can say I am still hopeful. That will be all right."

"It's only that part--we have only included that part of the British loan which we knew would be spent in this year."

"But we are stating that, to show that actually there will be more money turned in that will be paid out which we can turn into credit, because that would be paid in, in any case."

"It's nice to talk about making reductions, but it's hell to do it! [Laughter]"
