"Like many government bureaucracies, USAID suffers from a culture of arrogance that it knows best."

"I sincerely appreciate the fact that a person of your intellect and enthusiasm has taken on this job."

"I want to avoid what happened in Iraq where, you know, cargo planes full of money came in."

"Well, in fact, there's been a lot of delays in launching the USAID's worldwide procurement software and system."
