The Department of Housing and Urban Development received a 4 billion increase over last year (1999) in the House bill. This is a larger increase than we gave most agencies and departments in the federal government.

There's not a strong history of good government in New Orleans, or strong government, or effective government.

I have no interest in doing anything that would cause a negative impact on Chardon, and especially the Square,

go there all the time.

Now it is the biggest windmill in the world that doesn't work. It was too big and too expensive for its time.

I spoke to President Bush just a few days ago, ... and told him that I was coming here to be with you and what we were going to do today.

We are going to get ourselves in trouble at Metro with our healthcare program if we do not get some of those dollars made up.

I'm just hoping to see more effort when we watch film. We played a real good team tonight. They showed why they're ranked in the state.

It will be more important in eight or nine years when the NFL is behind him. I hope he doesn't lose sight of that.

In years past he would be starting, ... Hands down he'd be starting right now. But that's the kind of quality depth we have.

I find it interesting that some people would position the sales tax initiative with this. It's simply not true.

I'm very keen to have a run. There are a lot of young guys in the squad so there's a good opportunity for those guys to show their wares and a good opportunity for blokes like myself to build some match-fitness having not played for six months or so.

We have an obligation to obtain as much intelligence information as we can from prisoners to save the lives of Americans who are fighting the fight, ... I don't believe we have any obligation to these terrorists.

That's a huge issue. Like in our league, other teams can talk about winning championships. With our number situation, we've got to look to try to win four games.

We need to start the process quickly on the dollar numbers, ... The number that I am reading in the newspapers, in my opinion will be totally inadequate to carry even the Balkans issue to the end of the fiscal year.

Sloping land is somewhat impermeable to water, thus a considerable amount of water is lost by runoff. Crops grown on these sites are less likely to be adversely impacted by saturated soil conditions during prolonged rainy periods, but are prone to a loss of natural fertility due to erosion. Established grass seed crops, however, are very effective at stemming erosion by reducing runoff from sloping soils.

Excess soil moisture can have negative effects on plant growth. However, grasses grown for seed in the Willamette Valley are known to be well adapted to wet soil conditions. In particular, annual and perennial ryegrass will tolerate temporary floods, and do much better than small grains on wet soils. Although short periods of flooding will not damage a stand, extended wet periods will cause stand loss.

I was asked by the city to come to a closed door personnel session.

It was his decision not to do so,

We made the request to the president to get engaged, and it was his decision not to,

He just drove onto a wide section of the sidewalk and took out all those people, ... He is a bad guy, and it looks like it may have been intentional. ... All I know is that he stole his mother's car and that he had had a bad day at drug court.

I was able to convince him that this was in his best interests. We're very excited about it.
