Mr. Pitt is not behaving in a trustworthy manner that will bring credibility back to the market and restore investor confidence, and I again urge President Bush to ask Harvey Pitt to step aside from his post today,

I think the most important thing in life, and certainly politics, is credibility, ... If you want to be credible, you have to be straightforward, and I think that was damaged.

Lives and our credibility are at stake, ... We will only prevail if we do the right things and not hesitate. This issue should not be hidden for obvious safety issues and because of future litigation.

I think it will be hard to get a stimulus bill, but I think we really need to do it, ... I don't think a stimulus bill will solve all of our economic problems, but I think not doing one would be a negative.

Obviously, if he has broken rules or done something that's wrong, he will have to stand the consequences, ... Meet the Press.

I have enormous friendship and respect with Tom Daschle. Always have had and always will have. And I have nothing but admiration and respect for what he is trying to do with this in the Senate. As he said yesterday, it doesn't matter where you start, what matters is where you wind up. We have different bodies and we have different ways of dealing with it,
