By the way, nothin' finer than bein' a New York City fire fighter. He rushed to the scene of the World Trade Center on September the 11th, 2001. While others were leavin', he's a bunch of 'em that went in.

Once again, it's a hypothetical question. I certainly hope he does take my advice, and the ma — advice of the, uhh, Prime Minister of Turkey, and the advice of a lot of other figures. Uhh. And so, that's all we can do is continue to work with, uhh, with the President, uhh, as well as others in the Pak government, uhh, to make it abundantly clear the position of the United States, and then obviously we'll deal with it if something, uhh, other than that happens.

First of all, it's important for our citizens to understand that we spend 35 billion dollars a year for poor children's health insh — uhh, care, through Medicaid — 35 billion dollars.

I spoke to, uhh, Governor Polenté and, uhh, Mayor Rybak — this morning. I told them that the Secretary would be there. I told them we would help with rescue, efforts, but also told 'em how much we are — uhh, in prayer for those who suffered. And I thank our fellow, my fellow citizens for — holding up those who are suffering right now in prayer.

Whatever their chosen field, the National Laureatsesses Sciences and Technology have brought great credit to themselves through this country.

You talk about the farmer out there who's worried about makin' crop, that 2,200, dollars, means a lot. It may sound small to the, to the you know, the opiners in Washington, but you ask the average American family, would they raather have the 2,200 dollars to spend on their own, or would they raather send it to Washington, D.C., they'll say, let me have my money, I can do a good job with it.

In recent months, the Justice Department determined that new leadership in several of these positions would better serve the country. I strongly support the Attorney General in this decision. I also appreciate the hard work and service of the U.S. Attorneys who resigned. And I regret that their resignations have turned into a public spectacle.

It has agreed to allow international inspectors to verify and monitor this progress. It is committed to disclosing all of its nukyular programs as an initial step towards abananning these programs.
