Michael James

[When Jim Nicholson was ambassador to the Holy See last year, he had a memorable conversation with a Polish archbishop, introduced to him as] Secretary of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. ... So what do you do?

This is outrageous. We demand the secretary of energy exercise responsibility over the act of violence and the continued expansion of coal plants in the country.

Red Constantino

The biggest issue facing the new secretary of labor should be the complete reform of the state employment services led by the federal government. If we do that, if we can reform those state job services, we can recapture 20 billion hours of lost productive time.

Dave Wilkins

The reason why I didn't think there'd be many changes is you have a sitting Secretary of Defense in charge of it. It's more of a validation of what they've done to-date.

Jonathan Burnham

We haven't finished our analysis, and so it's too soon to say what the secretary will recommend.

The secretary-general is very concerned about the increasing tensions in the country and appeals to all parties to uphold the 2003 ceasefire agreement.

Stephanie Dujarric

Most members have not decided yet. We will know better about the situation on the Hill by Friday after secretary of state Rice's testimony. She will be the most articulate and persuasive advocate of the agreement.

Scott Charbo

This is the secretary of transportation bill, that's what this is.

J. Lowell Stoltzfus

William Delahunt

If I am confirmed as secretary of labor, I intend to keep faith with the men and the women who still work at jobs like those my parents held.

Linda Chavez

Lauro Baja

I'm not going to comment on rumors and speculation. The secretary views serving the president as an honor and a privilege. He serves at the pleasure of the president.

This is how low the DoJ has sunk under Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and [Justice Secretary Raul] Gonzalez.

Teodoro Casino

As with all individuals about whom statements may be made in the upcoming report, the secretary-general has been given the opportunity to respond by the Independent Inquiry Committee. As he has done previously, the secretary-general has exercised that right.

Allen Benson

I am sorry that the Palestinians are always creating a crisis when Secretary Albright visits the area.

Chaim Ramon

It's just not a big thing. It's like the secretary said, the anthem has been done in country, in hip hop. We wanted to give people a way of demonstrating their desire to want to be Americans.

Adam Kidron

I believe secretary Rumsfeld hasn't done an adequate job. He should go.

General Wesley Clark

It was an easy dunk for the commission to decide that the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy (Gordon English) were just way off base.

William McDonough

What we're doing at Dow falls very much in line with what the secretary was talking about. We approach security from a risk management perspective, and we try to identify the right level of risk and the right approach to reduce that risk at all of our sites.

Tim Scott

Didn't the lion of Islam, the Mujahid Shaykh Osama bin Laden, may Allah protect him, offer you a truce so that you might depart from the Islamic lands? But you were obstinate and were led by arrogance to more crime and your foreign secretary, Jack Straw, said these proposals deserve to be met with contempt.

Ayman Al zawahiri

Secretary McDonough has looked at the investigation of the armory incident, and he doesn't like what he sees. Some of these guys have been on paid leave, and he feels as a guardian of taxpayers' money that this is not the way to spend it. He doesn't like people on the payroll who aren't working.

Robby Cunningham

Nobody's coming to get us. The secretary has promised. Everybody's promised. They've had press conferences. I'm sick of the press conferences. For God's sake, shut up and send us somebody.

Aaron Broussard

Here's a conference with the Foreign Secretary tackling some of the most controversial issues of the day and people aren't allowed to stay in their seats if they shout any protest, even restrained protest.

Simon Hughes

As a former soldier, I can't believe that a secretary of defense would be so dismissive of requests for protective gear by our people in uniform.

Lauro Baja

The secretary or the chief of staff -- we have a discussion about flu almost every day.

Juan Carlos

You can imagine the workload we were dealing with, with all the offshore infrastructure and having to brief the president and the secretary of Interior.

Jason Mathews

His voice and tone were similar to the secretary-general.

Wang Guoliang

That was the catalyst for it. Obviously, we knew the governor differed from conservatives on some issues. But when he appointed Gray Davis' cabinet secretary as his chief of staff, the recall, the reform movement was RIP.

Mike Spence

When law enforcement gets involved, we cease our internal investigation until they have completed their investigation. That investigation is now over and our interim secretary, Mr. McDonough, is now looking at everything from stem to stern.

Robby Cunningham

The secretary of state said he was being aggressive. He wasn't willing to characterize it as a crime. We fired him anyway because it was too much for us.

Tom Bader

I really believe that we need a new secretary of defense because Secretary Rumsfeld carries way too much baggage with him.

Charles Swannack

After a reasonable amount of time, the secretary will likely deem this set of guidance as the final version, but the Air Force will need experience with how the guidelines work in practice before deciding on the finalization date.

Julian Robinson

We are expressing confidence in the Secretary General and in his continuing in office,'.

John C. Danforth

Secretary Albright's thoughts on the complexities of foreign policy in an age of religious extremism are required reading: bold, frank, clearly argued and informed by experience. This will be a powerful and enlightening contribution to our understanding of the present crisis.

Jonathan Burnham

We hope that the Secretary General's message was clear to the leaders that encouraging and maintaining violence is very serious... but I believe that the situation will change.

Pierre Schori

It is unfortunate that this campaign continues with the same methods and the same concept: that the secretary-general's post is like that of a corporate chief executive officer (CEO), not like a government leader, responsible to a parliamentary body.

Jim Paul

Clearly our intention is to proceed. At this point I have no intention to recommend to the secretary-general that we back off.

Jamsheed Marker

Jonathan Goldberg

When Secretary (Tom) Ridge was here, everyone was saying we were rated triple-A.

Lenny Klompus

We are not talking about trainee on trainee sex here in the allegations that came out of Aberdeen and elsewhere, ... We are talking about allegations that leaders did not do their jobs. That, to an Army general and to his colleague the secretary, is shocking.

Togo West

I am hopeful, confident and optimistic that with goodwill on all sides we will be able to implement the memorandum of understanding signed by (U.N.) Secretary-General (Kofi Annan) and Iraq.

Stephanie Dujarric

Luis said to me that as he turned away, he was right on the line, and he said the ball was over the line. And after the game my secretary Sheila, who was sitting right in line in the main stand, said to me that the ball had crossed the line. She is a very honest person and that was good enough for me. It was a goal.

Rafael Benitez

On the limited evidence presented, it appears the secretary has exercised her reasoned judgement to determine what relevant factors and criteria should be considered, ... My order requires nothing more. The plaintiff's motion is denied.

Terry Lewis

I play Adam's secretary and then end up in bed with him. It's really bizarre working with him because he's always been my favourite comedian. I used to have 'Adam Sandler' nights back home.

Sophie Monk

The signal is nothing is sacred off of Florida, and a lot of this is secretarial discretion. Interior can do it themselves, and so there is growing concern that the next secretary will determine the fate of Florida's tourism economy.

Richard Charter

I haven't lived there since 1937 when I graduated from high school at St. Johns, (Ariz.), a little place that produced so many people, including an Interior secretary and a serious candidate for president of the United States.

Morris K. Udall

[My job is] to give the president and secretary of defense military advice before they know they need it.

Gen John W. Vessey, Jr.

This is a new doctrine, coming straight from the secretary of transportation and the White House. I can't tell you how bad this is for consumers.

Stacie Temple

In just a few days, he met with the secretary of Homeland Security, the chief of staff to the White House and the most influential congressional members on this particular issue. He continued pushing the agenda and leading on this very critical issue.

Adam Mendelsohn

[Former deputy secretary of state Richard L. Armitage ,] tells anyone who asks that he is a serious candidate to replace Rumsfeld, ... miracle.

Chris Nelson

Going by the statement of the honorary secretary, we felt the rule book was not properly referred to.

Jagmohan Dalmiya

I was something of a prankster. One time I put a ski mask on my head and used a fake gun on the school secretary so that I could get some of my friends out of detention.

Luke Perry

When it comes down to the real brass tacks, it really reflects not so much hardcore analysis as the best political and military judgment of the secretary and the senior Pentagon folks. Searching for the ways in which the gearbox is connected to the engine isn't easy.

Thomas Donnelly

People have to be accountable for their records, and what they did early in their careers is informative. Secretary Culver will have to explain the two years he spent in the employ of his client as a lobbyist.

Matt Paul

Marc's relationship with the president is so solid that when Poland was deciding what jets to buy, (Secretary of State) Condi Rice called Marc and asked him to speak to them on America's behalf.

Dick Leggitt

You cannot give all the powers to the secretary general. The General Assembly has to keep its main prerogative, and the secretary general and all bodies should be accountable to the General Assembly.

Abdallah Baali

I play David Hasselhoff's secretary and she gets around a bit - it's quite a role. I end up in bed with Adam Sandler, It's so surreal it's hysterical ... I'm so excited. This is the biggest thing I have ever done, there's no comparison.

Sophie Monk

President Bush has had an outstanding Secretary of State in Colin Powell and there are not many people who could replace him, making Condoleezza Rice an excellent choice.

Michael Crapo

Secretary McHale had a very militant message, which provided some interesting insight, especially for the civilians.

Justin Ossola

My secretary stopped and got gas (Wednesday) for $2.67. (Yesterday at) the same gas station, she got gas again. It was $3.12, ... It has really gotten very, very restrictive to people. It's really hurting. ... My impression, of course, is that they have certainly gone up more than they should have.

Andrew J. Spano

He screwed up, and both [former Federal Emergency Management Agency Director] Michael Brown and [Homeland Security Secretary] Michael Chertoff really screwed up, so taxpayers are going to get the bill. Bush is overcompensating by promising the moon because his administration screwed up. Politics is driving policy.

Chris Edwards

There are no political or any other reasons behind the decision. Had the secretary-general been in New York, then it would have been a New York baby.

Douglas Coffman

The proposal was just a reiteration of what the secretary of state laid out yesterday. It truly was not a proposal. What happens in Florida will be determined by the courts, not by representatives of these two campaigns.

Bill Daley

If county returns are not received by 5 p.m. on the seventh day following the election, ... all missing counties shall be ignored and the results on file (with the secretary of state's office) shall be certified.

Unfortunately, because of the way the stories have played over the last few days, I have decided that I am becoming a distraction, and therefore I have asked President Bush to withdraw my name for secretary of labor.

Linda Chavez

This shows the attitude of Turkey and its political culture, which reaffirms how wise we were to reject the (U.N. Secretary General Kofi) Annan plan.

George Lillikas

This would have been a nice thing to have, but hey, the commission overwhelmingly decided the secretary of defense has not made a case to close down the second shipyard on the East Coast.

Norm Dicks

Mr. Secretary, if the nursing home owners are arrested for negligent homicide, why shouldn't you also be arrested for negligent homicide?

Cynthia Mckinney

I'm only the first person, ... I can tell you (attorney general nominee) John Ashcroft is going to face much worse than I have. Gale Norton (the interior secretary nominee) may face worse than I have. Even Christine Todd Whitman (nominated to head the Environmental Protection Agency), who is considered a moderate, may face worse than I have.

Linda Chavez

I was pushing the baccalaureate back in the days when I was education secretary. It always takes everybody forever in education. We were saying that A-levels were too narrow back then as well.

Shirley Williams

The French minister is entitled to her own opinion. However her opinion does not accurately characterize the policy or position of the secretary of defense or the position of the U.S. government.

Jim Turner

An active duty general is on very thin ice to offer any criticisms, negative comments, about the secretary of defense. Once a general is retired, however, the gloves can come off.

Joseph Dawson

We believe that Secretary Nighbert received a full, complete and unconditional pardon.

Howard Mann

We are not suggesting the resignation or pushing for the resignation of the secretary-general.

John C. Danforth

It does not help in any way for me to get into some kind of a fight with the secretary of defense, since he is there.

Bob Schieffer

Club Secretary: I say, Lawrence. You are a clown! Lawrence: We can't all be lion tamers.

Secretary Rumsfeld ... stressed that the president-elect's commitment to continued democratic rule was even more important than the war against drugs.

I look forward to continuing our discussions with the Palestinians and with the Israelis and also to staying in very close touch with others in the international community -- the European Union, the U.N. secretary-general, Russia, Egypt, Jordan and others.

William Burns

We've said all along that federal law requires provisional ballots and the statute was crystal clear on that. This certainly calls into question whether the DOJ is gong to pre-approve the secretary of state's voter manual.

Tim Nelson

When the ambassador calls on the [British] foreign secretary he is charged. It interferes with conducting business.

Derrick Roberts

We have set up an appointment for Mugabe to meet the secretary-general in Rome therefore we do expect him to be in Rome.

Fred Eckhard

The dollar is going to be driven by policy, what (Treasury Secretary John) Snow says, and what happens in the G20 meeting, more than U.S. economic data.

Larry Brickman

The governor believes the secretary has the authority to properly manage the corrections system and protect the public safety.

Gilbert Gallegos

There's nothing anybody can find in the Election Code. Marilyn called the Secretary of State's office, asked what the process is, they told her and she goes off and does what she's done.

Ray Laughter

We have sent a letter to the UN secretary general requesting him to make available the documents and other related papers based on which the Volcker Committee named Congress in its report.

Ambika Soni

It would have been inappropriate to approach the secretary-general and say, 'Can you help us with this contract?' And they had no need to do anything underhanded.

Roger Carroll

[U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has asked the Northern Alliance] to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and treat these questions with as much humanity as possible, ... elsewhere, everywhere.

Lakhdar Brahimi

Never seen a Treasury secretary that has worked so well.

Preston Martin

No, I have not been detained. I came to the (police precinct house) to help my press secretary, who was carrying equipment and was detained.

Alexander Kozulin

I don't see why we should not invite (U.S. Defense Secretary) Donald Rumsfeld, (British Foreign Secretary) Jack Straw, (EU foreign policy chief) Javier Solana, and other foreign and defense ministers.

Sarah Ludford

That's why they have completed all preparations to make the former BNP international affairs secretary and former chief justice the chief adviser of the caretaker government extending the age limits of the judges of the Supreme Court.

Abdur Razzak

And as I recall, the secretary didn't even go to his retirement ceremony; I have never forgotten that.

John Batiste

I'm sure they would be very welcome and they would be heard with great interest - or Condoleezza Rice [the US secretary of state] perhaps?

Sarah Ludford

They filed the necessary paperwork with the Secretary of State's Office, and we're expecting they will file with us in the next week or so.

Gail O'connor

All options are on the table, including mail elections. The secretary has supported them in the past as a way to give counties more options.

Jennifer Kerns

[Said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California,] Mr. Rumsfeld has been engaged in a coverup from the start on this issue and continues to be so. ... If the president doesn't fire the secretary, if he doesn't resign, I think it's the responsibility of this Congress to file articles of impeachment and force him to leave office.

Charlie Rangel

If our efforts with the publisher fail then I shall certainly ask our Education Secretary (Ruth Kelly) to intervene.

Greville Janner

No one, to my knowledge, has cast doubt on the personal integrity of the secretary-general -- no one -- and we certainly don't.

John C. Danforth

We should be able to show that this was a whitewash, ... What they were about was quashing the legitimate investigative arm of the secretary of state's office.

Patrick Collins

Good morning. Fighting fires. California firefighters try to stop a ferocious wild fire from crossing a freeway and burning its way to the ocean. Under fire: Former Education Secretary William Bennett feeling the heat for saying this on the radio:.

Katie Couric

We talked also about nuclear issues, and I have informed the secretary of state that Pakistan will maintain the moratorium on further tests, that Pakistan will not be the first country to resume testing in the future.

Abdul Sattar

This coming from the same person who boasted, under oath, in Senate testimony about working around the department and the secretary.

William Knocke

I don't know of a single witness in this so-called corruption trial that's going to say there was a corrupt payment to George Ryan. No one got cheated out of anything. The contracts were good deals, fair deals, for the secretary of state's office.

Dan K. Webb

I think it is a great tribute to the Government of Japan and to those who were handling it, including the Foreign Minister and the Prime Minister, that we were able to negotiate at the highest levels - I mean the President, the Secretary of State, and then my opportunity - without high emotionalism.

Howard Baker

There must be a clear command structure so that ultimately it is the home secretary (interior minister) and the (police) commissioner that are in charge of the security and that there is no blurring of the edges.

Richard Barnes

Before the governor opened up the dialogue with Secretary Chertoff, the local feds were basically stonewalling the state. The devil is in the details. We need to get the feds to focus not only on the border but also the impact of illegal immigration on metropolitan Phoenix.

Dennis Burke

There are a lot of questions that ultimately now put more light on the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Bennie Thompson

Secretary Rice asked him to stay but he felt it was time for new challenges. She reluctantly accepted his resignation but told him to keep his uniform ready.

Tassos Papadopoulos

Sex is the most beautiful thing that can take place between a happily married man and his secretary.

Barry Humphries

The caveat to that is if the secretary doesn't have enough to make the payments, the secretary will proportionally reduce the payments. That hasn't been decided yet. We're waiting to see the students that we get.

Chad Colby

He said, 'Well, I don't think we can afford a secretary.' And I said, 'I don't think I said anything about being a secretary.'

Jim Albaugh

Senator Warner believes that the decision of whether to keep Secretary Rumsfeld is up to the president.

John Ullyot

You've got to give the secretary some credit. I think they're making some effort.

Greg Weaver

The debt equity swap carried by the Chinese is beginning to be rather costly, it is this organic realization rather than pushy comments from (U.S. Treasury Secretary) John Snow that is likely to trigger a change.

Richard Cooper

It's important to both Secretary Baker and me that we not raise expectations here. We know that whatever we do will be difficult. We really do not yet know how difficult this task will be.

Halee Hamilton

SBA's disaster declaration was issued as a result of a similar action taken by the Secretary of Agriculture to help farmers recover from damages and losses of crops caused by drought that occurred Feb. 1, 2005, and continuing.

Frank Skaggs

His secretary came in to ask all the men to remove their ties because he had come dressed very casual.

Natasha Henstridge

I don't think the secretary-general wants another failed effort.

Tassos Papadopoulos

A new season is beginning and there are no men for every season. This is my opinion, and this opinion has an inevitable consequence: my resignation as party secretary.

Gloria Lee

If you follow through on when he was Navy secretary, his record of appointing women to high-level positions at the Department of the Navy was unprecedented.

Steve Jarding

I would say we didn't get the data we had hoped to have, ... The question of whether it's an absolute need or not is one that the secretary (of defense) and the president will be deciding.

Jacques Gansler

Now the secretary of state comes to the house to say that she will legislate but she hasn't said she will legislate for a single list.

Stephane Dujarric

If your license has been revoked, the Secretary of State requires the use of an ignition interlock device for a minimum of 365 days.

Michael Diamond

I'm afraid I was very much the traditionalist. I went down on one knee and dictated a proposal which my secretary faxed over straight away.

Stephen Fry

The only way to get to the truth is a full public inquiry, this is the very least the prime minister and the Northern Ireland Secretary can do.

Reg Empey

As a lifelong Iowan who has been a farmer, a registered nurse, a small businesswoman, a state senator and secretary of agriculture, Patty has spent her life devoted to her community and her state.

Chet Culver

I hope the secretary of state does the right thing. This is too late in the game for lawyers, too late in the game for partisan politics. The voters have spoken, and the votes ought to be counted.

David Boies

A committee of five secretaries, headed by the cabinet secretary, will now look into the process and submit their recommendation to the empowered group of ministers within two weeks.

Praful Patel

Rp Singh

[But on Saturday, Russia's foreign minister, Igor Ivanov , assured British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook] that Russia had no intention of becoming involved in any confrontation in the Balkans and no wish to see any escalation, ... The foreign secretary welcomed that assurance.

Libya's clear obligation is to turn over the Lockerbie suspects to the (U.N.) secretary-general so they can be transported to the Netherlands for trial before a Scottish court.

Pj Crowley

On management reform, you have one side basically saying that the secretary general should be empowered and should have all flexibility as a kind of C.E.O. and the other side saying that it is not ready to give up the prerogative of the General Assembly and would like to keep a close eye on the work of the secretary general.

Abdallah Baali

The interview questions were not education-related; they were questions about the Secretary of State position.

We have found no corruption by the secretary general, ... his behavior has not been exonerated by any stretch of the imagination.

Paul A. Volcker

Well, we had a lot of messages, ... Mostly I was listening. You know former Secretary of State George Schultz once said listening is vastly underrated as a method of obtaining information, so I was following his advice today.

John Bolton

Marshall has had the ear of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his top generals, and even anti-Democrat Zell Miller gave him a campaign contribution. ... Marshall has been impressive in his first term in Congress and he should be returned.

Jim Marshall

We've completely lost trust in the entire DoJ under Secretary [Raul] Gonzalez, including the public prosecutors conducting the preliminary investigation.

Romeo Capulong

I mean, there's not an awful lot of limelight. Perhaps at premieres and the pictures and the people; that's all exciting. But the actual work, like today: it's just work; it's just the work I happen to do instead of going to an office and being a secretary or in a shop, you know?

Hayley Mills

The general secretary knows everything and only he can give you the explanation. I am always ready to call the meeting. We had fixed a date but we failed to hold it because of illness of our general secretary. Yes, the constitution says to hold a meeting in every three months, but sometimes we are helpless due to some unavoidable circumstances.

Ali Asghar

Jeffrey Runge

That was part of the propellant that got her associated with our organization. Her son Larry Carleton is our secretary.
