We are a government-funded incubator. We support and help start business in the downstream chemical industry like Ethanol Africa.

We are very pleased to support these important programs for our government. The lines of business initiatives are an important step in advancing the President's Management Agenda.

It is building, and these type of activities and the support of members of Congress can only help the cause.

Once the government gets into business, they'll want to tell you what to insure and how much to charge. We don't think things like that work very well. We'd rather have a system that allows many companies to compete in a market.

We have a major, major philosophical problem with state government coming into a private business and telling them what kind of benefits they must pay their employees.

Both business and labour, and government officials are starting to say: 'We need to change the way the department operates'.
