3. Excellent

Can you keep us updated?

4. Mike Powers.......

Long term projects........going on since 1965

should have been completed by '75

only 80-85% done.

OMB is to blame for cutbacks.

Testimony before Congress for funding scrubbed by OMB, was fired for not sticking to script.

Levees deserved higher priority....surprised at extend of damage.


This Prez to be judged by what he leaves behind.

Nothing about past statements blaming cuts on Iraq war costs (ie NO newspaper interview last (?) yr.)

but did mention that he lives in MS and his home was damaged. Do I smell something fishy or just being a little paranoia here?

6. Talk about damage control

What a pile of crap THAT was IMO

7. Why? The snips posted sounded pretty good. What was missing? nt

8. Never asked about his comments

from last year where he blamed the budget cuts on the Iraq war.

It was, in a way, disappointing.

Still, the Mitchell setup was damm good.
