The numbers suggest that it was a compromise. That is, in fact, what the agreement is -- a compromise on both parts. From our point of view, we're glad that it was ratified, and that means we can now move ahead with bringing employees back to work and bring our regular schedule back up and running.

The plea agreement is a very good compromise.

We know that, for an agreement, we have to compromise and pay a price. I hope the other side will also recognize this fact.

Under the grand coalition agreement, some compromise will obviously have to take place for things to work,

To assume we're going to have our head over a barrel and be forced to accept some sort of compromise bill is not the position we find ourselves in right now. The moratorium remains in effect. There is nothing new; the only thing new is this tendency to provide an alternate plan to one that wants to drill closer to Florida's shores.

I will never compromise Truth for the sake of getting along with people who can only get along when we agree.
