Step Quotations | Page 5

We'll be in the Oakland Country meet and the Milford regional, that basically is all new to us. Good competition brings out good performances, and our kids have responded pretty well in the past. Now they have to step up a little more.

The Registered Traveler Program is a significant step forward in the effort to balance aviation security and traveler convenience.

I have been around the game long enough, although I hate to admit it, but sometimes you get bored with all the little things you have to do - especially when you are a veteran team. The thing is that if you really want to be respected and you want to take the step to the next level, you can't do what you did the other night and then come out the next night and not be ready.

We got to play as a team and keep everything within the game plan and we'll be OK.

There are some sorts of things that individual companies or individuals can't handle, like national defense or the court system, or whatever.

The only way to determine whether those requirements have been met -- I mean the first step -- is obviously to see what they told the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court. But that's exactly where you run into the first catch-22.

The only way to begin, change, and success is to simplify and go step by step.
