Paul Johnston Quotations

We've apparently struck a reasonable middle ground and will continue to try to meet the needs of all the authorized purposes.

He has juice in the building and construction office, ... It is a very cozy relationship with the construction office. Here I am, a small businessman, and they are doing the exact opposite to me. They make me jump through hoops, and they bust my chops. They give him the welcome mat, and they give me the get-out-of-town card.

What we are talking about is engineering solutions on a planetary scale and there are a huge number of uncertainties that need to be resolved before we go that way,

That's the really big trend, ... Year 2000 has been the big thing that has really worked quite well.

We have a mandate to return the hurricane protection system to pre-Katrina levels by June 1. The folks out there are really working like crazy. We've got folks pounding steel 24 hours a day.

We are storing up potential problems for future generations. We really need to pursue renewable energy sources and efficiencies in energy usage to the maximum.
