It's part of the past that we have between us now. We can't get away from that piece of it. So what we're hopeful of doing is perhaps using this first anniversary of it as a point from which to move forward.

What is hard for us to understand well, and hard for me to explain to Secretary (of State Colin) Powell, is the inability to get a phone call through to the aircraft commander or to talk to the crew.

The air crew did a marvelous job of saving the aircraft,

We've got some people on the way down there tomorrow. And we'll continue to work hard both here and in Washington. And it appears also the Chinese have lost an aircraft and we're sorry that occurred.

We've got assurances that our crew is safe and sound and that we'll get to see them soon.

There is little doubt that they have been over the airplane ... We are sure that the crew is not on the airplane, and we have every reason to think that the Chinese have been all over the airplane, ... Good Morning America.
