Sen. Rita Days and I were committed to maintaining a safe and friendly emissions program even though the effort was to decentralize it.

Sen. Joan Bray
The president is doing the right thing to assure people that the federal government is much better prepared for Rita than it was for Katrina.

Galveston bay area right now, that's in the path of Hurricane Rita, is the home to about 25 percent of refinery capacity of the United States, so there is definitely going to be an increase in gas for us as consumers. Now how much, it's hard to say.

If Rita is half as devastating as what Katrina was, it could be a phenomenal effect across the country. Our business revolves around the petroleum industry.

On the supply side, we are about the same as after Katrina and before Rita.
Richard Cobb

Lincoln Anderson
This just looks like the oil and gas industry are shamelessly using the tragedy of Katrina and Rita to try and push their special-interest agenda through Congress. We need to address our energy needs, but we don't need to jeopardize our environment and economy to do it, and we shouldn't use a national tragedy as cover for bad policy.
Lois Capps
The preparation and planning that we put in place prior to the storm is paying off as we deploy recovery crews and equipment to the areas impacted by Hurricane Rita.

Katherine Greene
We tracked Rita for a little while but things got a bit hectic.

He put the bouquet back in place and put another can of beer and a cigarette by his grave, for Dad loved his beer and cigarettes. We're so thankful our father's grave is intact.

Peter Streit
We don't want anyone to lose sight of the things that have happened to coastal Louisiana because of Rita.
Randy Roach
After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit last summer, natural gas prices spiked sharply. As sources in the Gulf have come back online, national prices have dropped, although not all the way to previous levels. We hope this rate reduction will be helpful to our customers.
Fred Horne
[One concern is that Rita will hit] the general area where all these folks from New Orleans have been evacuated, ... And there is enough hardship in that area as it is without throwing another hurricane at them.
Frank Lepore
I think it's an accumulation of work over the years, culminating with our work during the Hurricane Katrina-Rita relief effort.
Greg Roberts
[But the worst of Rita missed Houston and Galveston, and officials there were cautiously optimistic early Saturday.] At least, right now, we're okay, ... The assessment so far is that Houston is weathering the storm.
Bill White
Rita Cosby: Live and Direct.
Rita Cosby
The path of Rita really spared most of the damage to refineries that was the concern. There's still a lot of pressure on the market, particularly due to tight capacity.
Gerard Burg

David Mozina
We were getting by by the skin of our teeth before Katrina and Rita. We need to make some changes in our consumption habits soon.

Donald Light

John Crysler
Rita is a storm to be taken seriously.
Carlos Alvarez
We need to rethink a lot of our planning. We have done a lot of preparation, but this woke us up to the fact that we need to do a lot more. Katrina in particular, but even Rita to a lesser extent, was a wake-up call for all emergency planners.
Ross Grayson
Had Hurricane Katrina not come through here, Rita would be the event of the decade.
Gil Jamieson
We spent 14 hours just getting to Conroe, and we were going to my sister's in Denton. At that rate, Rita was going to catch up with us. We're better off in our own house.
Bridget Chastain
They didn't offer me nothing. I got my trailer back together. They just got me mad, you know? Like I tell them, I don't need them. I can do it on my own. It's bad, you know. They keep talking about Katrina, Katrina! They need to be over here for Rita, bro.
John Bourque
I made the comment (at the board meeting) that I encouraged and fully supported the efforts of (superintendent) Rita Bishop and Curt Baker. That's not against the board president.

Everyone's just looking at Rita.
Tetsu Emori
Absent Rita, we should have seen gas prices continue to fall.
Justin Mcnaull
Refineries in Texas did not take a direct hit from Rita, but the energy grids in that area were effected, and power has not been restored to those refineries.

If you were to go in there and take out the three hurricanes - Cindy, Katrina and Rita - then you're talking about an exceptionally dry 15 to 16 months.

Mark Pervan
We are pleased with Schneider's responsiveness, flexible capacity and consistency, and were impressed by its ability to provide critical capacity after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We are focused on driving our business from our customers' perspective, and Schneider is helping us meet and exceed our customer service goals in a demanding, rapidly changing environment.
Don Mills
Rita chose the Brownson House because she passed the house every day going to work and when the sun was shinning on the windows it seemed to have a presence.
Mary Rosza
Rita Hayworth in Gilda... there's not a shot of her in that movie that isn't gorgeous.
Donna Mills
The main difference here is that Rita didn't affect a very populated area. If it had gone into Galveston or New Orleans, we would have seen very serious damage.
Chris Lauer
We are not going to use Hurricane Rita as an excuse. I told the girls before the game, to use Hurricane Rita as the reason why we won and not why we loss.
Ron Hebert
We believe soaring gasoline prices after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita are leading to an accelerating decline in demand for S.U.V.'s, ... disproportionate reliance on S.U.V.-related earnings.
Scott Sprinzen
Maybe it can stay 1-0 after the fifth and then it will downpour. Maybe (the remnants of Hurricane) Rita can speed up and pour on them, maybe make the game end there.
Charlie Manuel
There is a lot of refinery capacity around Houston. If (Hurricane Rita) goes further south then it could hit refineries around Corpus Christi.

We are expecting Rita to hurl some very bad weather toward Miami-Dade and even Broward.
Richard Knabb
Rita got the best of us, ... We took quite a beating. It's going to take a while to come back from this.
Patrick Fox
The March report presents positive information for the area unemployment. Unemployment is on a downward trend. The amount of job loss from year-ago levels is diminishing as the area rebuilds and recovers from Hurricane Rita.
Robert Crawley
The insurance market shrugged off the record hurricane losses of 2004, but the combined impact of Katrina, Rita and Wilma was clearly more than the market was ready to absorb in 2005. So far it seems only property insurance has been affected, but it remains to be seen if the rise in property rates will be the catalyst for an overall upturn in prices and a harder market.
Karen Beier
There was some rolling back after the Fed move, and then Rita came on top of that, and we started to see everyone head for the exits.
John Beerling
It's mostly just celebrating that Rita didn't turn out to be as devastating to the Gulf as feared, and energy prices are down, ... Almost all sectors benefit because people have more money to spend.
Evan Olsen
Even though we closed the forest, (Rita) evacuees tried to find shelter in the campgrounds. At Caney Creek we are told there were 20 people in one of the buildings.
Ernie Murray
Until the storm hits and we get in to look at the damage, it's hard to tell how long this could last, ... Rita is pointed right at the belly of the industry.

Considering that San Antonio out-gave itself in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the response to our drive this November was truly amazing.
Eric Cooper
[Addressing unspecified people he named as] Gebran, Avo and Rita, ... as Lebanon had been 15 years ago.
