Robert Bennett Quotations

Yes, he did say to buy a ticket to pass the gate. I think Mr. Wu got what he paid for.

We want them to completely change the way they handle organs. We want stricter testing and we want families and patients to be notified if there is a problem with a donor, so that the family could make the decision, not the doctor.

Much would depend upon what Mr. Libby said to the grand jury. If he said that he had not talked to Judy about these things or didn't talk about the wife, then he's got a problem.

I am subject to expulsion if I divulge anything that is going on.

Based on what my staff told me, there is nothing new. If there in fact is nothing new, I would not expect her to be called.

There is, I am convinced, a very strong majority if not unanimity among the senators that the president should not be allowed to exit this situation without some kind of formal notice being taken of his behavior.

I would say so. It's part of my life.

Remember, this is for two people. We're trying to feed them, not fatten them.

That doesn't right all wrongs. I didn't say it did, but it shows we're trying to set this correct, and trying to do the right thing.

Judy did nothing that the New York Times did not want her to do. They encouraged her to stay in jail.

Most of the information we're getting is self-reported. If it turns out these self-reported statements are accurate, the folks won't feel much in the way of Y2K.

You can be faced with possibly going to jail (in which all four of those did), possibly being suspended from school and even from the band.

We don't feel a need to create a lot of new product.

We are not debating stimulating the economy. We are eviscerating the Bush tax cut.

We're partners with them at various levels. We have held talks all the time but I don't want to comment.

We are excited about this opportunity to expand our strategic interests in telecommunications, Internet telephony and Internet services.

We're hoping to raise between $7,000 to $10,000. Then we'll at least be able to get him out there and get him an evaluation.

We have a blind spot in this situation, a major national blind spot.

Either you're getting clearer or I'm finally able to break the code. I found this statement to be clear and extremely helpful. I understand it all, which is unusual.

Each year, I take it upon myself as dean of students to go and talk to the freshman band members by themselves. I let them know that in order to be a part of the Southern University Marching Band, they don't have to take certain physical or mental abuse to be a part of the band.

There's no question the brain is damaged, but the important part of the brain damage is it affects his thinking. It affects his ability to make judgments. It affects his ability to make decisions.

The worst-case scenario is that the power grid goes down, that the telephone companies don't work... and other utilities, like water, will fail.

This is not just an insurance industry issue. This is an issue which dramatically impacts the entire economy.

They simply did not warn this family of the dangers that were involved with that particular kidney.

It seems like a crime that you can go out and destroy the environment around this neighborhood. If they came in and built estate houses that would fit in better with the area, I don't think anyone would bat an eye.

It's everybody's backup. If the post office fails, then a lot of people are in trouble.

Take charge of your own Y2K life. Once you do your own checking, analyze and create your own contingency plan.

I've known both men a long time and I just have to be sure before I make a decision. I haven't made up my mind.

The family was informed of the transplant, but they weren't informed the organ was coming from a high-risk donor.

The family had to watch Josh go through tremendous pain.

The contempt has been lifted, and I am delighted that Judy can go forward with her great reporting.

I left Penney's in 1969 to join the Nixon administration and I didn't come to the Senate until 1992, but I brought with me a residual understanding of retailing and retailing issues. That expertise was helpful and I did some things, frankly, that were helpful to the J.C. Penney Co. If it's good public policy, the fact that I brought that experience and expertise with me probably contributed to it.

In fact, I even talked to the parents. They were there at the same time.

I don't see anything on the horizon that doesn't say the air logistic centers are in the military structure for good.

I don't want to represent a principle. I want to represent Judy Miller.

(The health care industry) is terribly fragmented. That means there are a lot of little tiny pieces. Our surveys indicate there are a number of doctors' offices and smaller hospitals that are probably not going to be ready if they don't put on a real push between now and the end of the year.

The committee is not satisfied with the level of progress in this area and has asked agencies to provide more details on their planning efforts by the end of the month.
