I think USAID is changing for the better, that you have thought outside the box.

If you are an American out there and you are spending all this money on Afghanistan, you see the cross being burned and the President being burned in effigy, that is certainly not reassuring.

I think our footprint in Iraq is too big.

So I would like that to be the United States, not China.

It is the dumbest way in the world to achieve savings.

You have challenged us to work more effectively with our military partners, with the private sector, with the American public.

I think that is probably where he will be.

I have legislation that says that 75 percent of the $35 billion will be rebated back to the consumer through the utilities.

I think we need to improve on-site storage.

I worry such action is premature and would weaken opportunities for U.S. companies.

If this is not a wake-up call for the Congress, what would be?
