Response Quotations | Page 3

'Green' is likely to be a big issue in the 2008 U.S. presidential election - largely in response to George Bush's suicidal refusal to engage with environmental issues.

Greenspan's speech puts an exclamation point on the market's notion that the Fed will eventually have to cut rates in response to the rapid deceleration in the economy,

We are going to put together as much information as we can to try to fill some of the gaps between what the lottery couldn't answer in their response to the Legislature.

Ideally each workstation will be capable of detecting what it thinks is a new virus. And it should be able to get a response in 30 minutes.

I'd be right in the middle of it. You just got to be on the ground immediately, with all your emergency response people.

Given the enormity of this national disaster and our collective desire to help the victims of this tragedy, our student-athletes, coaches and staff want to help those in the Gulf region. We are joining the response of the entire University of Connecticut community to assist those who have been affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Given all the activity going on, all the construction occurring . . . having that kind of response time was not adequate.

I am very encouraged by the response from members of the public.

I am skeptical that their decision is a response to new information, as opposed to legal developments in the case.

Four months ago, I never imagined this response to be so proud, strong and connected.

Frankly, it was in response to a horrendous performance in Spokane. That needed attention.

From the very beginning, '60 Minutes' was clear that the only response they would take to this story was from President Clinton. . . . They could not have been more vague about the actual allegations.

Funds believe that if they fail to mount a forceful response to News Corp, their credibility in other contests will be shot,

Futures are down now because of the response to Microsoft and Amazon.com, but that could change in the morning, depending on what oil is doing then.

Further, while we are hopeful that, in aggregate, we are seeing a bottoming in activity levels, there is no convincing evidence that our North American markets will rebound meaningfully before year-end. In addition, European, Asian and, to a lesser extent, South American markets are beginning to decline in lagged response to the North American weakness.

(Free State was) the last team that we lost to and, after that loss, it made us better, and we're hoping for the same type of response out of the girls. I know this group of young ladies, and they will take this as a challenge to channel it in the right direction and get better.

Gil Gonzalez and Jim Little will bring their in-depth knowledge and experience in community development and agriculture to the important role of coordinating USDA Hurricane response and recovery efforts in the region, ... I have great confidence in this senior team to work with all of our federal, state and local partners. USDA is delivering all the assistance possible to help displaced residents along the Gulf coast.

From reading over the notes for each session it was apparent that there had been improvement by more or less regular steps from almost complete terror at sight of the rabbit to a completely positive response with no signs of disturbance.

From my side, we'll have the best field ever. The response has been tremendous. When the event was troubled, then continued with closer ties to the Navy, it seemed to increase everyone's desire to be here. This is the strongest entry list ever for Coronado.

From now on, the response cannot be found in a government reshuffle, whatever its scope, but in a major change in the direction of the government.

I feel real good about the response we've already gotten.

I am bullish on corporate earnings given firm demand for goods. Today's (Friday's) gain in stocks is a response to Sony's profit.

I am bullish on corporate earnings given firm demand for goods. Today's gain in stocks is a response to Sony's profit forecast.

I can give you 100 dentists who say they've got the best method for reducing concussions. Many times I've had them in my office. One brought me a box of cookies. My response to that person and to 20 others is that I'm intrigued, but it's your job to prove to me your idea does what you say it does.

I get tired too, just like everybody else. Sometimes I tell people that, but all I get is people saying that being vulnerable and weak is just not like me. I rarely get the response of emotional support I want. But sometimes I need it.

I enjoy theater just for the sheer excitement of it and the immediate response that you get, and how every night the audience is a little bit different; but then, it's expensive to work in N.Y., and stage work is limited, so you're just doing it for the art.

I enjoy the racing business and I want people to know why. But it is a business and I believe fans can come to understand that better through this series. We had a very strong response from last year's programs and we've built on that this time around.

Go ahead, weathercasters and reporters: Tell Americans precisely what we don't want to hear: namely, that our self-indulgent, carbon-heavy, gluttonous and disposable lifestyle is precisely what is churning up the angry response from the skies and seas.

Go Daddy firmly believes that it has a moral duty and responsibility to help our fellow Americans in the wake of this terrible catastrophe. We absolutely must share our financial resources with those in need. Having donated funds to AmeriCares earlier this year in response to the tsunami, we didn't think twice about donating to AmeriCares again since their funds go directly to those people who are in dire need.

Given the response to our scholarship program in the past two years, and with the recent cuts to student loan programs by Congress, it is clear that there is a huge need for these resources. So many GLBT students -- as well as their supporters -- face steep challenges in funding their education, so we are grateful for the generous bequest and donations that make this program possible.

Given this area's vulnerability, unique geographic location and elevation, and troubled escape routes, a plan that facilitates a rapid and effective hurricane response and recovery is critical.

Giving for the tsunami was literally off the charts. There may be an issue of donor fatigue, it's too early to tell, but it looks like giving for the Pakistan earthquake is more typical of the historical response by U.S. donors to international emergencies.

I don't think he would be here without your quick response and quick action.

I don't think it's going to happen, and I don't think baseball wants it to happen. I think baseball would be inviting congressional ? possibly severe congressional ? response to it. They also would have to negotiate the effects of contraction with the players union.

For those of us who spent our careers competing with David Broder, the hardest thing to abide was the inevitable comparison. If someone said Jack Germond - or Jules Witcover or Walter Mears or whoever - 'is a pretty good political reporter,' the default response would be, 'but he's no David Broder.'

For these reasons, it is imperative that the investigation into the response to Katrina be comprehensive, probing and non-partisan.

Forty-eight hours have passed and we have received no response to our offer. We will wait patiently,

I expect you to file a response if you want to be heard.

I don't understand why the response wasn't instantaneous.

If bankers become overly conservative in response to past lending mistakes - or if examiners force such behavior - it will hurt bankers' own long-term interests and the economy in general.

Global Crossing has always been a great business partner to us. They've helped us understand how converging voice and data would help meet our company's growth objectives while saving us money -- and indeed, our response times have improved, reliability has beaten expectations and costs have come down. We look forward to continuing a rewarding relationship with Global Crossing.

But we're getting a good response from Berkeley homeowners, so we'll see how it goes. We'll experiment, perhaps in the Fruitvale area in Oakland, or Vacaville. We want to see if it's more fruitful, if you will, to spend our efforts there.

Based on recent literature, freeze, flight, fight, fright, faint provides a more complete description of the human acute stress response sequence than current descriptions.

But for us, (the response times) are good. The guys in the fire engines say the ambulances are responding faster.

I don't blame them for organizing. If I was a newly arrived immigrant in this country, because we are all at one point or another immigrants, I would be upset with the rhetoric being thrown around in response to their hard work and efforts in this country.

Bryan had surgery in Los Angeles, and the response I got was very, very positive. They expect a quick and full recovery. They're very optimistic.

Bush's numbers are low, and they are getting pummeled by the media for their inept response to Katrina and are actively working to make us the scapegoats.

China has made unswerving efforts to make a summit meeting possible, but regretfully, China fails to see a positive response from Japan.

Because we're able to adjust for compatibility - and what that means is we've already normalized for how well we think each person is going to get along with the other person - the only factor left in determining response rate, really, is the aesthetic appearance of the person who sent you that message.

Basically, the giveaway is a response to the raid -- to show that city officials and community is behind us. We want the DEA to stay out of the medical marijuana business.

Batman is positive, but I believe that, in the first couple of years, he's going to find an increasingly negative response from society, because the truth is that, when you have a powerful, negative city like Gotham, it didn't become corrupt by accident, and those entrenched people are going to respond very vigorously,

We are extremely grateful to the federal government for their quick response regarding this issue. Eliminating any plant material that may be brought into the state of Florida illegally is crucial to the future success of the Florida citrus industry.

We are extremely pleased with the response of every element of the federal government (and) all of our federal partners have made to this terrible tragedy,

Having all those windows open greatly increased their estimating productivity. While this is not unique to McCormick, the response from our customers was so enthusiastic that we think two monitors will probably be the standard from now on.

Having been involved and had people who suffered through both of those hurricanes, I see a much more rapid response on the part of FEMA this time.

Having power outages in our state is nothing new, and Northeast Utilities' response time has gotten worse, not better.

What we found is this is probably the dominant response of the ice sheets.

What we've learned from the British experience is that if people are admonished to notify authorities of suspicious activity or abandoned parcels, if you then readily have communications systems for them to do that -- telephones that are marked -- and you provide rapid response when reports are made, then in effect you have closed the loop.

What we've seen over the last few years in response to this case is the culture of cover up and denial that continues to this very day.

What we would look for is a gradual phasing out of the fuel subsidy and a more effective and coordinated policy response from the government and monetary authorities as and when shocks arise. Shocks such as high oil prices, a classic case of external shock, caught the government by surprise.

Here was a reporter seeking to cover the crisis in Ethiopia thoroughly and fairly?and the government's response was to thwart his efforts so that the alarming events in Ethiopia can stay hidden from the rest of world. This is all the more worrying in the context of the current crackdown on local journalists, at least 17 of whom are in jail for their work.

We are getting a good response so far for this being our first try at a craft show, and depending on the participation by vendors and attendance by the community. We would like to try to do this annually.

We support the six-month flexible ticket option because it was developed in response to feedback from wholesalers, retailers and guests. And we know HK Disneyland is looking at options to be better able to meet high guest demand.

IAEA received a prompt response from Iranians to visit the site, prompt access,

We met him once, gave him a CD and he dug it. We got a couple spins on his program and the response is great. He's also been promoting our show Saturday.

He was in a situation where we believed he was conducting suspicious activities. His response to the initial investigation was suspicious in itself. He was detained ... but he was released three days later,

We look forward to helping build the city's wireless communication infrastructure, enabling improved response times, cost-savings and productivity gains for the City of London.

We looked hard at some of the things that we did wrong at the end of the game yet we made sure everybody understands that it is that kind of hard work that will eventually turn those games into wins. There were a lot of good signs. I really thought the response coming out of the second half was excellent. We picked up the level of play. We did a good job of pushing to get the second goal. We'll learn from those mistakes.

Well, you know, I did not realize what we were starting but, absolutely, I feel really good about the type of response we've gotten from all over the world. And now we are changing the world one bottle at a time and I feel personally that I have had something to do with help making a difference.

I am getting frustrated that we haven't heard their response yet.

If stocks keep deteriorating and the Fed were to cut rates in a coordinated response with the Bank of England, you could see some short-term positive response,

If the government wants to put an end to these types of transactions, the proper response is for Congress to change the law, not to scare professionals away with indictments. It is a misuse of prosecutorial discretion to use criminal prosecutions to change accepted and legitimate standards of conduct.

If the Fed pauses late in the year, as we now assume in December, its response will be related to economic fundamentals, with GDP slowing late in the year rather than a direct 'emergency' response to events on the Gulf Coast.

If the Fed were going to pause in response to Katrina, it probably would be in November and December,

If the chief says it can be done, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Even if it's less than 84, decreasing patrol response time is critically important.

If the congressman had been here, he'd see a very smooth, unified operation. When you can have this response to this type of incident, it certainly shows the state is ready for any large-scale incident. The planning has been extensive. We're ready, and we learn from incidents like this to be even better.

He has done everything he possibly could to coordinate the federal response to the unprecedented challenge posed by Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans levee breach,

He had some evidence to suggest that there might have been some response there,

He was very, very critical, ... But throughout the days, his vitals continued to improve. We feel that we've seen some response to voices, and some head movement.

Imagine an artificial arm that moves naturally in response to your thoughts, that allows you to feel both the outside world and your own movements, and that is as strong and graceful as an intact, biological limb.

History teaches us that punitive measures hastily crafted in response to short-term rises in prices will have unintended consequences and disincentives to investment,

Historians will look back on this period of time following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as a defining moment for both our state and nation. To neglect the needs of this vital region sets an unimaginable precedent for America's response to future catastrophes in our nation. Our elected leaders need to see for themselves -- block by block, mile by mile -- the immense devastation, and the pressing challenges faced by so many people in this region.

Good disaster response planning requires broad involvement of several community groups. Pediatricians, local school officials, school nurses, public health officials, emergency officials and school physicians should work together to improve the preparedness of schools for the unwelcome possibility of a mass casualty event.

Here the issue will be: What is our response to the sparks?

The overwhelming response has been positive. People are very excited and they're very happy and they know, especially people that know us, that these children will have a great home.

His most rational response to my attempts at drawing him out about literature and art was 'I adore italics, don't you?'

His response to being left out of the team over the last few weeks has been brilliant. He has not been involved but he never sulked and behaved like a real professional both on and off the pitch.

When he came out of the tunnel in the pregame warm-ups, the response was unbelievable. I had been in the National Football League for 18 years at that time, and I had never seen anybody get booed that loudly in pregame warm-ups. It just didn't stop. It was the worst thing I had ever seen, the dangdest thing I've ever seen.

He said he had a show he wanted to put on the air about the survivors of a plane crash and would I please help him do it, ... I thought, 'How is that a show?' And then I thought if I were to do this it would be far too weird and borderline sci-fi and he'd never want to do it. But his response was no, I love that idea.

We feel in many cases we're going to get a better response to some of our movies in Europe, or outside of the United States, than in the United States.

This was not a response to any one incident.

The purpose of this exercise, which was only a drill, was to address the federal government's response to a potential smallpox attack. While there's concern, we do not have any concern that a smallpox attack is imminent.

We've been very pleased with the response and interest. This is the kind of event people would want to come to.

He needs to cite the precedents of the Yugoslavia tribunal, the Rwanda tribunal, the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and domestic courts, which indicate that his response to the situation is perfectly consistent with international due process and fair trial standards.

We took them items ranging all the way from refrigerators to sofas, bicycles, computers, washers and dryers to clothes. We've had an overwhelming response from the community. All of these items were gathered in only a week's time.

We trained real hard this week. I was pleased with the way I could still see their response after a hard week of training, so it was a good day.

My prediction? This move will be completely forgotten. Few to nobody will use it. And, 6 to 12 months from now, Oracle will have to give a real response to the open-source threat it faces. Tossing a lightweight database in front of a fast-moving market that wants free, open, and killer databases just won't fly.

My role was to contact the celebrities. I knew that these people get so many requests that I really needed to do something that stood out. So I went to Hoffman's Chocolates and had them do a chocolate star. Then I put my letter on top of that. The first round I sent out 25 chocolate stars with letters packed in coolers. I figured everyone loves chocolate and it would get people's attention. Considering how many we sent out, the response has been pretty unbelievable. Courtney Cox sent a handwritten thank-you note. Isn't that incredible?

My response is that's a hypothetical. You don't know what any Supreme Court in the future is going to do.
