For too long our country's version of an energy policy has consisted of Americans waking up every day and wondering how much it will cost to drive to work how much it will cost to keep their business running how much it will cost to heat or cool their homes.

Country's hip it's cool music.

Many of our own people here in this country do not ask about computers telephones and television sets. They ask - when will we get a road to our village.

As our country increasingly relies on electronic information storage and communication it is imperative that our Government amend our information security laws accordingly.

Canada's a huge country so to be able to unite the country through communication satellite technology or to be able to observe it through remote sensing technology from space is a natural fit for a country like Canada.

I do not pretend to know precisely what is on foot there but I think it pretty evident that there is a very free communication between that country and this body and unless I am greatly mistaken I see the dwarfish medium by which that communication is kept up.

Measured in time of transport and communication the whole round globe is now smaller than a small European country was a hundred years ago.

The waste of capital in proportion to the total capital in this country between 1800 and 1850 in the attempts which were made to establish means of communication and transportation was enormous.

You want to balance the budget in this country? We change the salary structure for Congress and the President. Every year they don't balance the budget we don't pay them.

We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country.

Hope and change? We're not doing that anymore. They're doing attack and blame. And so I just think people are going to see through this. They want real leadership. They want us to get this country on the right track.

Those who visit foreign nations but associate only with their own country-men change their climate but not their customs. They see new meridians but the same men and with heads as empty as their pockets return home with traveled bodies but untravelled minds.
