The U.S. needs a forward-looking policy toward Indonesia that promotes genuine accountability for human rights crimes and real reform of its corrupt military. Providing military assistance will undermine both.
Karen Orenstein
The anti-reform forces are splintered, giving PM Koizumi a freer hand.
Robert Feldman
In the absence of even mentioning tax reform in his State of the Union address, it may be presumptuous to assume a revenue-neutral AMT fix after 2007.
Brian M. Riedl
It could be that it's the quickest response to coal reform in the state's history.
Robert Rupp
It's true we have not done all we could, ... But we Socialists have a new team now and we are the party of reform.
Georgi Parvanov
Because of the spectacular failure to reform the system, because we have seen justice delayed for countless death row inmates, with potentially meritorious claims, and because the Illinois death penalty system is arbitrary and capricious, and therefore immoral, I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.
George Ryan
It's all the more necessary that China embraces the kind of political reform and opening up of society which will also be better for human rights and prepare China to ratify the covenant on civil and political rights.
Mary Robinson
The biggest constraint is the ... government's fear that economic opening up and reform will unleash social and political changes that will threaten political control.
Nicholas Eberstadt
My feeling is that the US domestic support proposal will have a comparable effect to the European Union's 2003 reform of its Common Agricultural Policy.
Jim Sutton
By then, we will be able to see whether the Senate has reached a compromise on immigration reform.
Marissa Graciosa
The difficulty is going to be convincing the members of Congress that whatever cost is associated with the reform is going to be made up in increased productivity.
William Bransford
It's a little hard to swallow his reform agenda here.
Rich Judge
We're asking for responsible immigration reform and not just punitive measures.
Michael Clara
The Patriot Act was bad in 2001, and despite bipartisan calls for reform, it's still bad in 2005.
Lisa Graves
The prospect now for any reform of Italy's public debt must be close to zero. I wouldn't want to hold Italian bonds until they get to a spread that acknowledges those risks, and they certainly don't at the moment.
Marc Ostwald
There is a very real risk that Koizumi's plans to reform the banking sector will be so watered down that they will end up pleasing no one.
Koichi Seki
The first conditions were economic, including the passage of structural reform policies that favored economic growth. We've also had low interest rates and low inflation, which is a big change from the past.
Javier Viveros
We will definitely reform the Agricultural Bank of China.
Tang Shuangning
This [mining sector reform] must be executed in a manner that is beneficial to mining companies as well as government, particularly at this delicate stage where we want to be perceived as willing to be part and parcel of the global community.
Dennis Nikisi
It's a very mixed message from the voters. The majority of the population is still not ready to go through with a harder reform course. On the other hand, they know that things can't go any further with the red-green coalition government.
Uwe Andersen
[As a believer in] the need to reform the medical malpractice liability situation, ... did not go anywhere.
Stephen Hourahan
Has talked about well-intentioned reform but has not delivered it.
Timothy J. Roemer
Both of us understand that real reform means more than tightening bureaucratic rules; it means fundamental changes to the way Congress does business.
John Shadegg
God's Choice. I hope that this means the new Cardinal O'Malley will have even greater authority and capacity to get on with the reform of the church in Boston.
George Weigel
The clear message that Republicans haven't gotten is that people actually expected us to take action on education reform and finance. Voters are frustrated, and rightly so.
Royal Masset
They're telling kind of a big lie about tax reform.
William Gale
It is impossible to expect that things will improve in a short period of time at Sony, ... The company has only just begun a begun a real structural reform.
Masaki Iso
The tax system is broken, and any kind of reform will involve winners and losers.
Len Burman
Credit card companies, credit unions, many retailers, as well as the American people, have lobbied for bankruptcy reform for years.
Jim Donahue
Retail reform is long overdue.
Anne Jones
We support political reform by amending the constitution in order to make it truly a people's constitution.
Sudarat Keyuraphan
Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.
Mark Twain
Being seen as reform-minded, Koizumi is drawing support among market players. But we don't know much about his concrete economic policy. This will keep the market from staging a runaway rally.
Hiroichi Nishi
He's been trying to cover up his record on ethics reform throughout this process.
Larry Smar
The government must not squander this golden opportunity to radically reform the pensions system.
Gordon Lishman
Health-care reform is a huge issue. It's also a huge battle. There are big vested interests that are just as bad as contractors and postal lobbyists.
Jesper Koll
People are clear that the public employee unions' bosses have a beef with the governor. And now they're going to hear what the governor's trying to do: Bring reform to a system that badly needs it.
Rob Stutzman
We're hopeful that 2006 is going to be a banner year for ocean policy reform. The crisis now is to prevent an irreversible situation five to seven years from now, that will grow exponentially if we don't get on these things.
James Watkins
It sends $3 of your tax money that you already pay into the fund. It sends a message that Maine people support campaign finance reform.
Alison Smith
Even if people agree with the need for reforms, they are uncertain about the flat tax. They are starting to fear that they could be the losers in this reform.
Gero Neugebauer
The governor would certainly like to see comprehensive reform, and his proposed budget takes us a long way. We have to do what we can within our means.
Kate Phillips
To understand the threat to music education posed by the seemingly minor change of mind, one needs to go back in time to the enactment of the Education Reform Act in 1988.
Richard Morris
This is the final transition away from Reform. And I don't say that critically.
Faron Ellis
The sacrifice may be, working double time giving up a part of your elected term of office and focusing on constitutional reform, ... Kuyas advice (brotherly advice).
Fidel Ramos
The government reform committee has a hearing scheduled for next week and Rep. [Henry] Waxman would prefer to offer the measure in the committee.
Laura Nichols
Everybody's eyes glaze over at the discussion of postal reform. So Koizumi is providing a three-ring circus.
Jeff Kingston
This is very stupid. If you don't know the exact number, how can you give useful suggestions for reform?
Liu Renwen
It actually would be virtually impossible to exaggerate the magnitude of the state's fiscal problem. And the governor-elect means what he's said about campaign-finance reform. And that intrinsically creates a very tough agenda.
Orin Kramer
We need to solve structural problems, such as agrarian reform and the structural problems of housing, employment, health, education and roads.
Raul Reyes
We see that the inflation rate is going down, so that there is a chance that tax reform with its enormous relief in the second half of the year will begin to work.
Hans Eichel
The contribution that immigrants make to our economy is incredible. The point is to bring home a just and comprehensive immigration reform bill.
Luis Valenzuela
It is very stupid. How can we achieve useful reform (of the judicial system) if we don't even know the exact numbers (of executions)?
Liu Renwen
Senators Kennedy and McCain have said they're open to their fellow senators on comprehensive reform. … I think we're just interested in moving forward. The president campaigned on this in 2000 and nothing has happened.
Laura Capps
This tax reform can't make it without the support of the task force leadership ? and it doesn't have it.
Greg Hughes
As a church leader, I must commit my organization, its leaders and members to more decisive and proactive involvement. We will continue, and be more active in community outreach [programs], and we will be even more engaged in social reform.
Patrick Allen
The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare, nor should this Court, ordained as a judicial body, be thought of as a general haven for reform movements.
Dr. John Marshall
If you don't do something about the fundraising, you can't call it real reform.
Rogan Kersh
REFORM, v. A thing that mostly satisfies reformers opposed to reformation.
Ambrose Bierce
There was no discernible impact on guest service at our resorts. We were happy to offer our employees a means by which they could express support for immigration reform.
Gordon Absher
It's really about where we focused for the last 10 or so years. We have approached education reform kind of like it's immunization.
Kati Haycock
Certainly [opposition candidate Edmund] Stoiber would have been better received by the market because of his plans for structural reform. The government has not got much of a majority so we can't expect much on reform going forward.
Gareth Evans
In the interest of the credibility of the reform agenda, and in the interest of the general public, we have decided to take some decisive steps.
Charles Soludo
I would urge the members of this House to see through these amendments and recognize them for what they are, nothing more than an attempt by the opponents of campaign finance reform to kill this legislation.
Martin Meehan
All players need to focus on what was promised four years ago: reform of world trade rules that boosts development.
Celine Charveriat
When we ran for Student Government last year, we ran on a higher education reform. This campaign is our answer to some of the promises that we made.
Tom Crawford
It is legal and policy reform which is urgently needed to make sure that these issues could be addressed also from the perspective of the human rights standard.
Michel Sidibe
There has been too much effort expended to get to this point to let the bill fall apart over an issue that's not central to GSE reform.
Howard Glaser
There is a deep connection between security, development and respect for human rights, democratic values and good governance in everything we are attempting now to reform our Organization.
Traian Basescu
We will not simply rely on a special fixed model for reform. All practical models are welcome.
Long Xinmin
This is a fascinating reform, since it comes right before the U.S. FASB -- as is probable -- accepts a request by the SEC to look into FAS87, the U.S. (pension) standard.
Andrew C. Roberts
It's hard to believe that any fundamental tax reform coming out of the administration wouldn't involve some serious reform of the AMT.
Glenn Hubbard
To give up the task of reforming society is to give up one's responsibility as a free man.
Alan Paton
Tax-and-spend rhetoric aside, California needs budget reform, because it's not a revenue problem, but a spending problem.
Vince Sollitto
Congress got bankruptcy reform wrong, dead wrong. The federal bankruptcy law changes ... are doing no measurable good whatsoever. They've done nothing more than put new hurdles in the path of people who are already flat on their back.
Brad Botes
Many market participants are hoping for the FDP to take on the role of a pacemaker, a force that pushes for reforms, Merkel wouldn't be able to push through her reform program.
Joerg Kraemer
That is not America. We need immigration reform that treats people with dignity.
Joe Courtney
Hard-line conservative leaders were not ready for market reform, and so there was a lot of ideological resistance to his initiatives, policy initiatives.
Tang Wenfang
The biggest risk factor (for the Japanese economy) is these reform measures coming to a deadlock.
Yoshihiko Miyauchi
The best solution for the current political crisis is to amend the constitution to pave the way for political reform.
Abhisit Vejjajiva
There is going to be a mega-debate. The momentum toward legislative reform is very strong.
Dana Berliner
We're talking about immigration reform as the immediate fix.
Andrea Hoffman
There is no way for the industry to achieve further development unless we reform.
Long Xinmin
The chief obstacle to reform is the president.
Mark Krikorian
We have in our negotiations today achieved a breakthrough which we hope will lead to meaningful reform in these discriminatory practices.
Stuart Eizenstat
Renewed confidence will encourage more investment inflows. That is possible as long as the reform effort is sustained.
Amando Tetangco
This does nothing for the prospect of reform, in Germany or in Europe in general, ... So investors have voted with their money and hammered the euro.
Rob Henderson
If any of them fail to put out reform plans, we will undoubtedly take legal actions.
Mei Ninghua
I?m not even sure I?d go into a reformed House of Lords. But let?s put it like this, the decision would have been easier had there been not even complete reform but a substantial stride.
Neil Kinnock
People who love soft methods and hate iniquity forget this, -- that reform consists in taking a bone from a dog. Philosophy will not do it.
John Jay Chapman
No administration has ever undertaken such an ambitious attempt to reform and modernize Medicaid.
Rep. Scott Brinkman
There are those who want to conclude the Security Council reform is over. They are mistaken. Reform is a process and moves in a continuum step by step.
Kenzo Oshima
The real divide [over election reform] boils down to the voter-fraud side for conservatives and voter-access issues for liberals.
Rob Richie
I am for `Peace, retrenchment and reform', the watchword of the great Liberal party thirty years ago.
John Bright
There's no clear picture of who's going to take the lead and therefore it's hard to see how we're going to get economic reform. The market is going to react negatively.
Shahab Jalinoos
It certainly raises a lot of serious questions, with a pharmaceutical company involved in financing the development of a Medicaid (reform plan).
Kathleen Stoll
Give encouragement to Republicans who want to make the education reform bill an issue (against Democrats) in November.
Charles Bullock
In my perspective, the majority of the German population is still not ready to accept a real hard reform course.
Uwe Andersen
The government should also be constantly reviewing and reforming the tax system to improve Australia's ability to compete.
Trevor Hughes
We're going to give them the benefit of the doubt that they will do what they say they are going to do. We would just urge them to undertake a quicker pace of reform.
Timothy Adams
I think it means what we've been saying all along - the governor's initiatives are not real reform. They're not popular, people don't like them, and they're going to lose.
Gale Kaufman
When Pat Buchanan left the Republican Party and joined the Reform Party, he had a wonderful opportunity to provide leadership to [a wide base].
Lenora Fulani
One of the guideposts he uses is, are they individuals who will be good for the business climate in Texas and in particular those who support reasonable tort reform.
Anthony Holm
This is a ground battle for reform! Let's change Japan!
Yuriko Koike
As the immigration debate continues, we encourage member of Congress to pass comprehensive reform that protects both our borders and our economy.
Randel Johnson
These countries need to figure out a way to make their domestic economies grow. If they intensify their efforts to reform because their currencies have strengthened, then the world will be a better place.
Steve Roach
Ron has a long history working on behalf of education reform and job creation. That's what I think sets him apart.
Terri Hickey
The vast majority of our agriculture employers are somewhat sympathetic, because they agree with the need for immigration reform.
Mike Gempler
Does reform mean picking on grandpa and grandma?
Shizuka Kamei
In the 2006 campaign we're going to have a continued commitment to reform pay to play at the county level.
Andrew Tidd
Congressional action on Medicaid appears imminent, and while we have few details about the shape Medicaid reform will take -- most of what we know, we don't like.
Craig Fuller
We have to do something to convince our senators that we need a good immigration reform.
Carlos Avila
It is an enormous leap - a bigger leap than we had wanted. The island was hoping to reform through evolution, not revolution. Feudalism is a great system and has worked very well.
Jennifer Cochrane
We believe the public wants reform, but they want the right reform.
Theis Finlev
This bill is far from complete, but it is an important first step in gaining control of our border and our future. We hope the Senate will act responsibly and pass this important reform.
Diana Hull
I think the most important thing for this president to do is to focus on trying to get some things done -- limited things done -- over these next 100 days, ... If he can get education reform accomplished, if he could do something on campaign reform in a bipartisan way, then that could send a very important signal to the American people that he's going to try to get things done.
Leon Panetta
For Congress and the president, because they have had to make so much money to get elected, their options to implement reform are limited and probably not politically feasible.
Larry Makinson
The fact that so many congressional seats are noncompetitive is not fair, but one state reforming the way it does redistricting is like unilateral disarmament.
John Laird
It demonstrates the politically elite will fight to obstruct reform in order to protect their backroom property tax deals.
Jay Lapeyre
Now we can talk about cutting taxes or reforming the tax code.
Alex Johnson
Efforts to reform the United Nations were a complete failure despite making massive investments, and ties with Asia, including China and South Korea, are in tatters.
Seiji Maehara
Reform is necessary and preferably something that gets us more money. Until there are some changes, we aren't in a position to do anything immediate with the Morrison report.
Mark Winkleman
Since the 2000 election, Florida has led the nation in election reform. We have one of the most rigorous [voter machine] certification processes in the nation.
Jenny Nash
The Clinton Administration has seemed to put more concern on scoring political points than advancing serious reform.
Jonathan Adler
I do believe that there's a patent quality problem. A lot of people who don't have an ax to grind think there needs to be reform.
Howard Berman
We are hopeful that the legacy of this investigation is reform.
Mike Holtzman
He basically accomplished the impossible, painting the DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan) as a party against change and the LDP as the party of reform.
Gerald Curtis
I hope to reinforce the recognition of the need for reform, ... There's a lot of nominal support for administrative reform, but whether they will actually carry out an effective reform is still very much in the balance.
Paul A. Volcker
Enough of us could simply say we're not voting for any more rules until you promise us a fair debate on campaign finance reform.
Chris Shays
I believe we will have achieved education reform when no teacher believes he or she can teach the same thing in the same way from one year to the next.
David Warlick
What is decisive is what actually happens, ... The need for reform in those fields is undisputed. If we don't manage to agree on real, far-reaching reforms here, the grand coalition would be meaningless.
Peter Mueller
The whole property tax discussion is about reform ... moving the property tax system to an income tax based system. We're talking about the wrong issues.
Don Heller
While a Koizumi win was priced in, such a decisive victory ... is more than most were expecting. Koizumi will now be able to push his reform agenda with a much freer hand.
Kirby Daley
Thanks to the government's internal chaos in the Democratic Reform portfolio, electoral reform has once again been put on the back burner.
Scott Reid
For Republicans, it's politically stupid. It's not 527 reform. It's something that restricts speech.
David Keating
In just about every sector you can think of, there's been an ongoing process of reform.
Jonathan Pincus
Bill Scranton is very committed to reforming Pennsylvania. He's not a man who is in this because he likes the title of governor.
Mike Devanney
This material is relevant to debates we as Americans are having about the war in Iraq and intelligence reform, ... To keep it classified simply because it might embarrass the agency is wrong.
Matthew Aid
One change has been the number of countries we track, which is a reflection of the pace of reform and progress on the continent. Another change has been the continuing progression towards peaceful transitions in power, which has resulted in a new generation of leadership coming into its own.
Charles Stith
We're lucky to have Hayworth here because he's one of the biggest advocates of immigration reform.
Mike Jaskie
Given that Nader is running on the Pat Buchanan Reform Party ticket and is openly accepting both financial and organizational help from Republicans and their allies, the answer is no.
Jano Cabrera
A tax loophole is something that benefits the other guy. If it benefits you, it is tax reform.
Russell B. Long
After overcoming every obstacle that the leadership could possibly construct, the House will vote on real campaign finance reform.
Martin Meehan
Korea has led the way in responding to the crisis with reform and deregulation, ... It stands out among Asian countries for its response.
Paul Matthews
My own view is that the period of economic reform has ended. Reform itself needs to be redefined because the crux of it has left the economic sphere and entered other areas.
Li Shuguang
Frankly, I think Europe should have no shame given the efforts that have been undertaken, given the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy that was undertaken in 2003 and given the opening of Europe in general.
Christine Lagarde
Sutter is aiming to reform the industry in Northern California. It's a chesty idea.
Greg Howell
You reform those issues that need reforming. You do not do a one-size-fits-all wholesale new creation of a federal bureaucracy.
Charles Symington
In the name of participatory democracy, President George W. Bush's Arab reform policies are actively enfranchising radical Islamist parties with armed militias: in Iraq, where they form the government; in Lebanon, where Hezbollah now holds government ministries; and now, potentially, in Palestine.
Yossi Alpher
These demonstrations may give the leadership in both houses one more reason to put aside partisan differences, do the right thing and pass comprehensive immigration reform.
Daniel Griswold
There's not disappointment here, but also nothing to move the market. We still hold out hope for reform and will continue to watch developments carefully.
Yutaka Miura
[That's not to say there haven't been efforts to reform the system.] There was a proposal in Congress that would raise a point of order against any tax proposal that would not deal with the AMT, ... It died.
Leonard Burman
They've run a very poor campaign. They haven't offered a really clear vision of how they're different, ... They've been tarred with the brush of being against reform, which is not actually true.
Jeff Kingston
If at the end of May we don't, we'll reform, regroup, decide how we're going to go about it, but if the task force can't come up with the bill, I'm going to push mine, and go ahead and make the changes in it that we've been working on now for a year or two and just go for it.
Charlie Norwood
We'll also be providing voter education programs. In the meantime, we'll be keeping up the pressure on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
Aeryca Steinbauer
Until there is reform, we're going to continually have questions about these deals moving forward.
Andrew Gray
By passing the permanent trade legislation and then by working to get them in the World Trade Organization, it seems to me we put ourselves on the side of the reform elements in China.
Richard Solomon
If the next premier after reform-minded Koizumi raises concerns about slower progress in structural reforms or debates about the consumption tax, it would be negative for Japanese stocks.
Kazuhiro Takahashi
Eastern culture makes more sense to middle-aged people, who have been through the opening and reforming ages in modern China. Now they long for something under their skin.
Stan Boland
I liked what he had to say about insurance reform. I hope it's in the right direction, to help the consumer and not the other way around.
Sen. Nancy Argenziano
I feel very unsafe, ... In 16 years, the Chinese government has done nothing for political reform. People have no political freedom, no human rights.
Chen Yonglin
We'd like to see the new Cabinet continue, and facilitate, reform initiatives bearing Taiwan's interests in mind.
David Huang
They act as salespeople of the regimes. When it comes to reform, some of these liberals say, 'Let's first solve the Palestinian issue.' For me, that's a sell-out.
Daoud Kuttab
If China is happy to see local interest rates rise, then it's happy to see some tightening monetary conditions in general and therefore could arguably be more receptive of yuan reform.
Simon Flint
Any fundamental reform is a long shot, but there is no denying that the momentum behind the fair tax concept is building.
Bill Ahern
We're doing reform differently than the rest.
Dan Coughlin
What we couldn't accept was the new mandatory spending under this bill, which would open the federal purse to developers, ... Reforming the law should not be a euphemism for gutting the law, and that's exactly what the bill would do.
Sherwood Boehlert
Germany needs reform, ... I hope the SPD understands that too.
Michael Fuchs
John McCain in the last Congress played an absolutely pivotal role in government reform and congressional integrity issues. Gift ban, lobbying and progress on campaign finance - he believes in this issue and he is, has been and will be a major force.
Ann Mcbride
(Proposition 66 and the Reform Three Strikes Act) are like apples and oranges.
Jane Robison
This exciting new campaign?promises to dramatically change debate about reforming presidential elections. If successful, [it] would have a powerful impact on voter participation, racial fairness and protections of the right to vote.
Rob Richie
It's also important to note that the point of the election was to strengthen Koizumi's reform mandate, so we'll be looking how he delivers on this front.
Luke Waddington
The prospects for broad telecom reform including franchise relief are fairly low this year because there are too many unsettled major issues.
Paul Gallant
I believe we will stay together to fight for some real reform – education reform, health reform. I think the governor's unintended consequences brought together a group of people that isn't going to go away.
Barbara Kerr
Either we head into a more serious crisis, which will hit economic growth, or we abandon reform for a year. In both cases it is a failure for France.
Marc Touati
We were pretty much upset with the fact that they called us a reform team. We are not a reform team. We are a public high school. We were really upset coming into this game. We just knew that we were going to face them at 10 o'clock this morning and that we were going to take out our anger and frustration on them.
Manny T. Lopez
There is bipartisan support for immigration reform in South Florida, including Gov. Jeb Bush, including the legislature, including our mayor in Miami. We in South Florida don't have to turn people's minds around.
Ana Navarro
The next 12 months will not only determine the very future of the domestic automobile industry as we know it, but Detroit will become the lightning rod for the most pressing issues facing this country -- health care costs, pension reform, global competition and its threat to the industrial foundation of America.
Peter Delorenzo
Clearly, campaign finance reform and toughening the historic law that was passed last year is one of the governor's top priorities.
John Wiltse
This story is another feather in our cap. We're gaining an increasing national role in education reform.
Paul Herdman
I feel that, politically, they cannot sanction the fact that Canada is taking a different perspective, and that we're much closer to a European model when it comes to drug policy reform, ... I think there are a lot of Americans who would like to … adopt more of a Canadian approach on a number of things, whether it's health care or equal marriage rights for same-sex couples, or drug policy.
Libby Davies
I sometimes think about Mahatma Gandhi: when he was arrested...the movement continued. That is what I think I'm seeing now. And I believe that the reform movement is in the hearts of the people.
Azizah Ismail
He strongly believes that New York needs drastic reform of its dysfunctional government, and he's interested in hearing what the candidates can do to fix Albany.
Steve Pigeon
It's typical of the piecemeal approach the governor and the legislature has taken to property tax reform. They tweak something here or there, but it's never a big-picture approach.
Mayor Scott Slifka
That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen.
Michael Harrington
We need to reform the constitution as fast as possible and have a new election. We have not finished our duty yet. We still need constitutional reform -- that will be a real victory for us.
Parnthep Pourpongpan
When (the Political Reform Act) was originally written, a lot more people didn't necessarily consider politics as a full-time position.
Kathay Feng
The market has already made progress in many areas of the reform program. The challenge now is to build on this momentum and deliver the real changes needed to reform the market. This will not only ensure that we meet the FSA contract certainty deadline, but will also enable market firms to realize the huge process and service benefits of a modern, efficient market.
