The money would go to projects that enhance the national homeland defense, thereby serving to protect Americans, while giving a boost to the flagging high-tech sector.

Having heard about this, my biggest concern is that we should go back and look at all of the projects he did ... to be sure there isn't anything we should have a concern about, ... Out of fairness to the citizens ... that's the only prudent thing to do.

We will be continuing this training and consider giving financial assistance to some projects. Though the aim is not to give financial assistance, it is to show that people can do a lot of things without much money. We need to get youth more interested in life.

The defense isn't giving up a lot of points, but teams are getting a lot of yards. We'll have to go back and look at what we're doing and try to correct some of those things.

We need to be more consistent on defense. We're still giving up too many big plays.

Nothing is more discouraging than facing a tough defense and then giving up a quick score. I was definitely pleased with our defense.
