To me, it makes a tremendous amount of sense to get small groups of highly trained people to work in a synergistic fashion with the military.

Hopefully, we'll come to a conclusion on that sometime in the next 10 days.

I mean, this is not that old when Captain Phillips saved the Alabama.

We're obviously concerned about that, but principally concerned about American shipping.

I think there's going to be a more militarily oriented hearing next week on this as well.

this is so clear, I think to everyone, that we all have an inherent right to self-defense in international waters.

Your position would be that China would also have to have a specific obligation?

Actually, the more I read about cap and trade, the less comfortable I am with it.

Why wouldn't they have the same obligation?

The bureaucracy that would come out of last year's bill was--it looked like something you would get out of the old Soviet Union.

We have a situation where it is assumed that we have greater financial resources to deal with this problem, when China is a greater emitter and they're sitting on a $2 trillion surplus.

Many of us feel a strong commitment to improving environmental conditions, but that doesn't mean that the mail has been answered on a lot of these other questions.
