Jim Willett

Bob Marcusse

The first priority that was identified was to upgrade the patient rooms. We're going to put out a request for proposals soon to get people designing projects for us.

Scott Freitag

So we're coming back with a new set of proposals and costs.

Hank Webber

(Sarkozy) has shown solidarity and has made proposals. We now need to see what the prime minister is doing. In any case, Nicolas Sarkozy ... also has his analysis as an informed politician. And he will express it without doubt.

Nadine Morano

There is a growing awareness at all levels of how broken our system is becoming. Health insurance is becoming increasingly unaffordable. The proposals that have dominated at the federal level are generally counterproductive, including health savings accounts.

Dick Williamson

Hopefully, the official Task Force page will include all the proposals.

There is an immediate need that must be addressed. However, the committee believes that approval of either of the current proposals would be an even bigger mistake. The current jail problem was one that was created over many years of inaction. The solution will not be implemented overnight.

The contract offer that we made to the IAM is respectful, balanced and well above market. We remain willing to discuss reasonable proposals around that offer.

What we end up passing will probably be a blend of several proposals.

It's clear that the president and his allies in the House are using Katrina as cover for ramming through proposals to weaken the Clean Air Act.

As things stand, France therefore cannot support the commission in the agriculture proposals it has made.

Christine Lagarde

We encourage people to develop their own proposals, handle jobs and meetings, be flexible and independent. It's been a nice formula for growth.

Sheikh Hasina

I think the judge will discuss the future schedule in the courtroom because the process is closely connected to the substance of the government's proposal. Under the guise of process, you could see a debate about substance of government's proposals.

Proposals appear to have been put under the bed.

Jeremy Hawkins

We are waiting on various parties to get back to us on a variety of options and proposals.

The governor applauds both proposals.

Russell Schweiss

The scheme is putting together proposals that will make it fully compliant.

John Bencomo

This is a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, ... Frankly, I think there was a lot of effort to just get things into the hopper, so I don't know how much thought went into these proposals.

Christopher Wood

The main thing is to prevent the situation from deteriorating. The main goal over the next few months is to prevent a serious escalation in tensions [between Israel and Palestine], to give the parties a pause, to elaborate their positions taking into consideration electoral competition and then moving ahead on the path to implementing certain proposals.

Alexander Kalugin

We have heard many constructive proposals; we will incorporate as many as we can in our new plan and still accomplish our needs of the business.

Luke Muzzy

It's striking how different these two proposals have been greeted.

The governor has taken actions he's deemed appropriate to correct the problems, and I'm confident members of his party will be supportive of his legislative proposals.

Joe Fisher

It's adequate to describe proposals generally, which is something that came from the Idaho Supreme Court's decision. But most districts include a catchall that gives some legal flexibility.

Nicholas Miller

We sent in proposals since 2004 to the CPO to sit and negotiate for the new collective agreement, and it is going into 2006 now and no agreement has been met.

Robert Giuseppi

There are three proposals on the table and they have lots and lots of tools at their disposal. As intelligent individuals who have been elected by us -- and they asked for the job -- they ought to be able to reach a decision.

Laurie Wieder

Nobody knows what happened. Because proposals can last from year to year, we pretty much agree it's still alive. Leaving a half-done proposal in governance for six years is pretty ridiculous.

We are not happy with the pension proposals put forward by BA and part of the meeting today (Wednesday) was to say why. But, equally, we were clear today was the first in a long series of meetings. We expect the negotiations to be both lengthy and complex.

Brendan Gold

Controversial proposals, once accepted, soon become hallowed.

Dean Acheson

It would be an ethical breach on our part to ask professionals to submit proposals that we really didn't have any intention of considering seriously.

Victoria Sublette

We have had both on-air and off-air impact. On air we have seen 200,000 business proposals come in. We were so overwhelmed that we had to create an entire cell at Zee to sift through the entries. It seems to have changed the concept of reality TV and life.

Ashish Kaul

This is Robin Hood in reverse. These tax cap proposals favor those with the most expensive properties. We are spreading the taxes to those with some of the least expensive property.

Sen. Clementa Pinckney

We want to see the city come back, and we're willing to listen to proposals and ideas. We want to work with local and state officials to get the city back on its feet.

We know that our bull trout use the upper portion of the watershed. It's critical habitat, and the higher these proposals reach into those headwaters, the greater the impact on a fish that's already on the brink of extinction.

Clint Muhlfeld

This has gone further than most proposals for annual sessions.

Frank Brawner

Once again, the vice president has acknowledged that he dares to follow where Bill Bradley has boldly led. ... The only consistency in Al Gore's positions is that he has consistently been less willing to lead with bold proposals of his own, but consistently followed in the footsteps of other leaders.

Anita Dunn

We had meetings with both exchanges. They both presented us with compelling proposals and it was a difficult choice.

Jean Medina

It's totally up to NASCAR. All we can do is just wait. (NASCAR is) wading through the proposals.

The president's budget proposals have neglected water infrastructure.

Everybody is going to have to ante up the match before the feds will let you put (requests for proposals) out for bids.

Significant progress has been made in addressing the union's issue, to obtain proposals to make it easier to conduct an organizing campaign.

Steve Marcus

His proposals just aren't that popular.

Del Ali

Essentially, they've made no new proposals since the last strike. We were hoping to withdraw this week's (strike) notice, if we had made some significant progress.

Deborah Chernoff

There are no proposals to increase the number of loops or running lines. The biggest threat to freight is the loss of existing and future 60mph freight slots on the ECML.

Graham Smith

To have nine years go by when we have brought proposals forward for needed improvements, it is shortsighted on the part of a decision-making group to not think ahead.

Ken Davis

We are now working with the Federal Property Ministry, Finance Ministry, and the government apparatus. I think our proposals will be ready in April.

Andrei Kostin

We want to give a visual example of the project's intention, inspire other artists to submit proposals and get local merchants to sponsor those artists.

Leslie Allen

There's no doubt, winning is the priority, and he's going to be fully supportive in achieving that goal. I think he's indicated that he's going to be open-minded about any proposals that are put forth.

Aidan O'brien

We have a draft of the proposals in hand which we're going through. A vote this week is possible, but there are still some areas where we don't have agreement.

Dick Ackerman

There should have been an effort to consider the other proposals that were announced. Instead, he just simply froze all of those other considerations in time, and announced that this was it.

Jack Copps

There was a lot of discussion at the time by the committee about the proposals, about the experience, about all those things and I think the consensus was (Black Canyon Jet Center ) had the better proposal of the two.

Scott Brownlee

If someone wants to preserve it, let them buy it and preserve it. We'll see some creative proposals.

I'm not particularly fond of eminent domain. I don't know why we have to buy up everything there before we put out a request for proposals.

Marie Horenburger

The companies made proposals that have yet to be formalized.

Amelia Torres

Having a structured process like this will give us a better way to evaluate those proposals and decide which one is best for our community.

Brian Moura

In this election, many Canadians are asking, 'What are you going to do about my high taxes, how are your proposals going to improve my job prospects, what fresh ideas do you offer to keep my country together?'

Preston Manning

This meeting will serve more as a work session for the board to discuss information and proposals, and will be open to the public.

David Larson

The SEC has made a good-faith effort to solve the problem, but unfortunately [the proposals] cannot be used by enough companies in Europe.

Andrew Bernstein

We have made proposals to them, and that's what's going to drive this negotiation. He is going to go to the place that he perceives as giving him the best possibility of going to a winning organization for the next five years.

David Sloane

We have been thinking about how to bring in large reserves of gas from Australia for some time and been listening to what Californians have said about other LNG proposals.

Jane Cutler

I am worried by the way talks have gone so far -- I have the impression that Law and Justice is not taking our proposals entirely seriously.

Jan Rokita

The probability of a moratorium is fairly high. We've made concrete proposals that the county is not accepting.

Scott Worley

We'll meet from time to time but we didn't discuss any proposals to arrange the meeting of the whole membership. We still need some time to consult.

Andrei Denisov

So far there's nothing new. We heard from the AU chairman the same proposals we'd heard before from the AU mediation team. It was very disappointing.

Ahmed Tugod

For every one that actually gets built, there must be at least 50 or 60 proposals that don't happen. There's five or six built around the world every year and if anything, you know there's a couple more being built every year, rather than a couple less.

Patrick Thorne

We always tried to be sensitive with the land acquisition proposals. All the land is acquired for Gilmore School and the Magnet School, which was a much larger land acquisition and was to be our Renaissance Project.

Anthony Dragona

He didn't come because he does not have viable proposals.

Felipe Calderon

The people who are listening at the moment are those who are part of the central administration, ... President McCormick has arranged it so that the alternative proposals are posted on the task force's homepage.

Barry Qualls

The danger is that they are going to talk about a variety of proposals that will look more like window dressing than an institutional change in the way they do business.

Chellie Pingree

I've spoken with Mike a number of times and given him a variety of proposals that we're open to doing.

Anton Thun

Our heavy industries are feeling this acutely this winter as tightness in supplies hit gas prices. This is something we'll want to learn from when drawing up our proposals.

Malcolm Wicks

We conveyed to President Clinton our acceptance in principle to the proposal ... with our own explanations and interpretations of those proposals in relation to all the issues.

Abdel Rahman

I'm not familiar with what districts in Wayne County put forth, but the proposals we're asking voters to consider are for items the community at large has determined are things that they want to see corrected.

Brent White

Therefore, the committee believes that a majority of the commissioners court that will be in office in January opposes the current bond election. Consequently, the No No Committee believes that the current jail proposals do not accurately reflect the will of the citizens of Smith County.

Bob Randall

I was hopeful that we would be coming forward with a major package. But I have yet to even see one of the biggest proposals we discussed.

Rep. Roz Mcgee

The government called for proposals and we responded.

John Chisholm

The circumstances changed when I heard the other proposals.

Larry Ammons

We don't discuss anything anyway. Unless it appears on Patrick's official breakfast-time agenda. And that consists mainly of food. Minutes of the last meal and proposals for the next.

Alan Ayckbourn

We made our commitment to KT&G because we are confident in the strong potential of this company. If the CEO is not willing to consider our proposals as investors, we have no choice but to continue to seek election of our nominees.

Warren Lichtenstein

We want them to have that local commitment to the community, and that's a big part of our request for proposals. We're not looking for Wells Fargo out of San Francisco.

Tim Sanders

NASCAR is extremely appreciative of the time, effort and commitment put forth by the cities of Kansas City and Richmond. Both of their proposals were outstanding and the passion and enthusiasm the people involved showed for the NASCAR Hall of Fame has made a lasting impression on all of us.

Mark Dyer

There must be something that the established tourism community in the region can do in this regard and we will meet to see what proposals come up.

William Ross

There are different proposals. It certainly will be a mix of the performance from the last World Cup and the world rankings.

Sepp Blatter

It will take some time to get these proposals back. As long as we can move forward and not knock any options off the table, I feel like we're making progress.

Joanne King

Today we presented to (pilots union) ALPA the pilot cost savings proposals that we believe are necessary to help address the severe financial challenge that the company and its people are facing.

Chris Kelly

Rate-making and setting of rate proposals is part science and part art because there are judgments that have to be made.

Brian Duplessis

The process is still evolving. We continue to receive additional information regarding each of the three cities' proposals and the decision-making process is still active.

Kerry Tharp

The gist of these proposals has been to extract some cash from the company. The more the better ... with these proposals in the view of shareholders.

Dan Popowics

It was a good proposal; there really weren't any weak proposals.

Chuck Mcdonald

We are very much in listening mode and we are keen to hear what people think of these proposals.

David Robertson

Lynn Swann doesn't have any experience and he doesn't have any policy proposals for the future, so he's left with attacks.

Dan Fee

I was very pleased with the community interest. I think the process is going to be very useful, and we'll wind up with at least a couple of proposals that could be good for the community.

Andy Schultheiss

These tax-cut proposals are especially encouraging. Cutting taxes on workers and businesses creates jobs.

Daniel Walsh

If we earn less, we receive a lower Social Security payment in retirement. Any proposals that cut retirement benefits will disproportionately hurt gay people.

Sean Cahill

The proposals being put out are far too ambiguous from our point of view. They looked as though there had been a hidden agenda to maintain the status quo.

Gordon Taylor

I think they have good intentions. But they don't understand the effect of their proposals.

Mark Thomson

The proposals make sense to me.

Ron Haskins

Fashion and computers are going to have a very long and healthy life together. We're just learning what these marriage proposals are and I think there's all kinds of exciting possibilities.

Fern Mallis

Let's take a deep breath here. I guess what's frustrating is that Senator Kerry was just at our conference making terrific proposals that would benefit the immigrant community.

Cecilia Munoz

I was pleased at the number. I was not surprised, because it's been two years since we had a call for proposals.

Tim Glidden

I don't think consumers benefit from corporate welfare, and that's all that these proposals add up to. With energy prices as high as they are, we don't need to provide any incentives.

Jerry Taylor

Our proposals will give more freedom and more digital capacity to commercial radio. We would ask the industry to give careful consideration to our thinking.

Stephen Carter

I don't think the Japanese government at this juncture is in a position to put forward concrete proposals on this.

Taichi Sakaiya

I have strong moral objections to creating human organisms in order to harvest cells from them in a way that destroys them. But those objections simply would not apply to proposals that would not in fact involve human organisms.

Edward Whelan

All we hear is the usual stuff about, 'We need more time to examine your proposals,' ... That's why we need to fight this battle on different fronts. We can't put all our eggs in the lawsuit basket.

Edward Rendell

They're going to be talking about the U.S.-EU approach and proposals in the World Trade Organization. We're trying to find a lot of common ground so we can move the process forward.

Ed Loyd

You can't have costs ahead of your unit revenues. What I wake up at night worrying about is that our proposals are not aggressive enough.

Ed Bastian

China is willing to discuss at the United Nations Security Council any proposals against terrorism. All activities should abide by international law, especially the U.N. charter.

Zhu Bangzao

Design proposals are expected to interpret the themes and values of the Olympic movement with Chinese style, culture and spirit.

Zhang Ming

You can look at that in two ways, but I don't think we have a good enough handle on what this is going to cost. We have a good idea, but if you give them a figure then you almost give them a blank check and most of the proposals will come in close to that number.

Eric Pfenning

This demonstrates that Granite School District is committed to thinking outside the box to ensure students have as many educational opportunities as possible. We weren't pleased with the closure, but they have been very open to our proposals and feedback.

Erik Olsen

Very actively on the management dossier and putting forward proposals and driving it.

Emyr Jones Parry
