They asked, is it true that in the United States people actually sue the government on occasion?

I think we need to make that as clear as we can, and we want also to use the metrics that we've developed.

Please keep it a priority.

I keep getting asked the question back in Vermont, is there a need to keep this port open?

How many of your political appointees and other top positions are still waiting for final approval by the White House?

I think we need to be clear that we believe Jerusalem's the capital of Israel and we're going to--we're going to act that way.

I think you are and will be an inspiration to the people in USAID.

We learned in Iraq that spending lots of money quickly can end up with a lot of fraud and waste.

There was an Op-Ed in last Sunday's New York Times by Bono entitled 'Africa Reboots.'

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

I, and I believe most people here, want USAID to succeed.

I would have assumed your predecessors would have done that, but I am glad you have done that.

Roads. We need roads. Today, we women, we are the roads carrying things.

We recognize the responsibility that comes with that to work with partners, including the World Bank and other donors, to try to mobilize efforts in a very connected way to those local leaders that have capacity there.

It might also help with the State Department to let them know exactly where their money's going, too.

Well, of course, at the same time the State Department and others are going to have to bring some pressure on some of the governments to actually do the things necessary.

Do you think USAID should be doing the same thing? In other words, a quid pro quo, or is that naive to think that you can do that in some areas?

I worry about the billions that were wasted in the years past because there seemed to be an emphasis on burn rates more than on results.

I want to make sure Bond gets a chance to be heard.

But you could let me know.

I know the chair and I agree that your leadership is critically important at this time.

I couldn't think of a better way to invest U.S. dollars and I think our taxpayers would agree to give a free quality universal education to the 4.5 million children in Haiti that really have no access today.

Nothing would bring about more effort to cut off money if it turns out that it wasn't spent well.

You can't have a democracy, a real democracy without a functioning justice system.

I do not want a plan just for the sake of a plan.
