I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.

The process of learning requires not only hearing and applying but also forgetting and then remembering again.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

I supported my friend Congressman Shuler over former Speaker Nancy Pelosi during our party's leadership elections in November citing a need for new leadership.

President Bush offers the American people an optimistic vision and a clear choice in November. The President has provided steady leadership in remarkably changing times. He knows exactly where he wants to lead this country and he has complete confidence in the American people.

There's a very big gulf between the black civil rights leadership in America and the black middle class in America. The black middle class are conservative. Many of those minorities can be persuaded to be members of the Republican Party.

For many members of Congress the time for choosing is near - do what the party leadership demands or do what the people have asked you to do. If my colleagues don't mind some advice from a newcomer I'd suggest going with the will of the people.

People more than ever since I can remember are concerned about being out of step and out of line with their political party and won't cross over. There is nobody man or woman who wants to be left out and people are fearful of that. People are fearful of their leadership as well.

Among my activities was membership in the Boy Scouts I rose each year through the ranks eventually achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and undertaking leadership roles in the organization.

All of this suggests that while citizens became more comfortable with President Bush after September 11 and thought him to have the requisite leadership skills they continue to harbor doubts about his priorities loyalties interests and policies.

I think we need leadership that helps us remember that part of what we are about is caring about more than the person right next to us but the folks across the way.

Life has obliged him to remember so much useful knowledge that he has lost not only his history but his whole original cargo of useless knowledge history languages literatures the higher mathematics or what you will - are all gone.

Perhaps the prevalence of pedantry may be largely accounted for by the common error of thinking that because useful knowledge should be remembered any kind of knowledge that is at all worth learning should be remembered too.

Each co-operative institution will become a school of business in which each member will acquire a knowledge of the laws of trade and commerce.

I am not a member of any organization listed by the Attorney General as subversive. In any instance where I lent my name in the past it was certainly without knowledge that such an organization was subversive. I have always been essentially and foremost an American.

Do you remember when you found out you wouldn't live forever? People don't talk about this but everybody had to go through it because you're not born with that knowledge.

When you deal with a person who's experiencing dementia you can see where they're struggling with knowledge. You can see what they forget completely what they forget but they know what they once knew. You can tell how they're trying to remember.

That's the way I got along in life. I don't ever remember being particularly jealous of anybody because I figured if I can't do it myself I don't deserve to get it.

I am not a member of the CIA or any other intelligence agency.

Judy we think that since the 11th of September 2001 we've faced a similar heightened threat level. And we've been enhancing both the exchange of intelligence and security information and the assessment of that information because that's the crucial element.

Mr. Speaker we are a blessed Nation. We have not suffered another attack on our soil since September 11 and we are grateful. We have killed or captured dozens of members of al Qaeda and the Taliban. Our military and intelligence forces are working both hard and smart.

I can remember when I was National Security Adviser the intelligence community told us... they put out an intelligence report saying that Iran would never back off from attacks on shipping in the Gulf if we use force.

In November they transferred control of Abu Ghraib to the military intelligence command completely it was after all the center for interrogations for Iraq.

As a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence I will be participating in several hearings on the startling revelations contained in the report.
