Burson Taylor

Chaaban Omran
The attorney general's decision to certify this question for the ballot was based solely on the constitution and does not reflect any policy views he may have on the issue. He certified this petition after carefully considering the arguments made by its opponents.

Andrei Illarionov
Under NASA policy, it is inappropriate to discuss personnel matters.
Dean Acosta
He requested that he not attend. He was accommodated. That is consistent with board policy.

He's the president's alter ego on political and domestic policy.
Capt. Charles Blackwood

Bob Beatty
We believe there have been positive developments in Armenia and Azerbaijan and it is in our foreign policy and national security interests to remove them.

Teresa Schilling
They violated their own policy. This was nothing about enforcement or the control of contraband.
Craig Bradford

Mike West
It is typical and completely appropriate. It's an insurance policy that more than 90 percent of corporate America has in place. Given the fact that we live in a litigious society, it's something that is necessary.

No modern nation has ever constructed a foreign policy that was acceptable to its intellectuals.
Irving Kristol

Jerome Booth
Because of that mistaken policy, we have lost a lot.

Gerhard Schroeder
It would be nice if there were a policy response in the form of a tighter fiscal policy.
Richard Fox
It was our understanding if there was a founded claim that it would be reported to the cardinal. They said in their policy that it would be reported to [the person's] employer. Even though the cardinal is not a technical employer of a priest or pastor, he's the closest thing to it.
Colleen Dolan
We didn't start the process because of that. But we were aware of the situation there when we did review that policy.

The chairman said they wanted a national policy. It's all about competition and they aren't going to stop cities, either.
Barry Orton

Lucas Van Praag
Our position is that the zoning board does not exist to establish or create public policy.

Patricia Ferrier
The report suggests we're one step closer to the Bank of Japan's exit from its current loose monetary policy. That's negative for Japanese government bonds.
Naomi Hasegawa
President Bush says he is concerned about the Iraqi people, but if Iraqi people are dying in numbers, then American policy will be challenged very strongly.
Peter Arnett
A few wanted to know if we've changed our refund policy, but we haven't. You see a few cases of Eastern equine encephalitis every year. The mosquito population is way down this year.

Anthony Santomero

Economic policy reforms aimed at encouraging new investment in all sectors of the economy will also be taken up.
Sanjaya Baru
I would continue my foreign policy, but also would pay more attention to developing internal infrastructure in preparation for EU membership.

Dwayne Jones
What those numbers do is cry out for public policy makers to take this challenge very seriously.
Gail Shearer
We need to have transparency. There's all sorts of questions about whether this is good from a civil-liberties perspective or public-policy perspective. Is it going to create a new level of bureaucracy? Is that more effective or less effective?
Carol Rose
The economy could get back to an above trend rate this quarter, and that is what will matter to monetary policy makers.
Joseph Lavorgna

Will Perry
After careful review and consultation with the FBI, we did not find the agent violated any FBI policy.
Glenn Fine

Ross Wilson
This obviously suggests that if they were going to tighten monetary policy and raise rates, it would be in a very gradual fashion.
Carol Stone
The policy is that if the average temperature is below 50 degrees, then the city needs a dome. That being said, any league city is welcome to make a presentation.

David Kaefer
It is the best monetary policy regime we have experienced and the best one available.

Brian Withrow
In 2004, when the industry faced record catastrophic losses, policy holders' surplus grew by 12.5 percent to $391 billion.

Rep. Wayne Harper
The change that Mr. Barnard wants to make in the school board policy is utterly ridiculous.
Mary Gordon
It's another policy that favors developers and industry at the cost of the average person.
Mike Dombeck
Why was a member or leader of the kidnap group actually arrested by the Pakistanis, and why wasn't he able to provide better information on the exact location of Pearl? ... All these things are going to have to be looked into, because I have a terrible feeling this won't be the last kidnapping of an American abroad by Muslim groups who are disenchanted with American foreign policy.
Charles Glass
There are alternatives to the criminal justice approach to drug policy in Kansas. The public health system is better able to work with addiction.
Laura Green
He's a real central banker. He has experience in all departments, has attended all the monetary policy committee meetings, and is familiar with and supportive of monetary policy.
Ozgur Altug
If the director of the department doesn't even know what the privacy policy is, we are in trouble.
Jackie Speier

It's not sanitary environmental policy.
Matt Nozzolio
The pass itself, the policy is written on the pass that it's non-transferable and may not be resold.
