Volunteers Many will be shocked to find, When the day of judgement nears, That there's a special place in Heaven Set aside for volunteers. Furnished with big recliners, Satin Couches and footstools, Where ther are no committee chairmen, Nor yard sale or rest area coffee to serve. No library duty or bulletin assembly, There will be nothing to print and staple. Not one thing to fold and mail, Telephone lists will be outlawed. But a finger snap will bring Cool drinks and gourmet dinners And rare treats fit for a king. You ask, Who'll serve these privileged few And work for all the're worth? Why, all those who reaped the benifits, And not once volunteered on Earth.

Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings.

The Banquet Committee chose to honor Trent Schulze for this award because of his knowledge, understanding and dedication to this department. No one's absence is felt more than when Trent has to be away from his job. He works with the budget, training, and many other projects that are too numerous to list, while always willing to help anyone with their own job. He is very much appreciated by everyone within out department.

The NCAA executive committee continues to believe the stereotyping of Native Americans is wrong. However, in its review of the particular circumstances regarding Florida State, the staff review committee noted the unique relationship between the university and the Seminole Tribe of Florida as a significant factor.

There is confusion regarding the position of the External Affairs Minister. We are trying for the membership of the Security Council of the United Nation. The UN has set up a high-level enquiry committee, which found the involvement of some companies of Switzerland, Italy and India, and after that Singh gave a statement that he is being implicated for supporting Saddam Hussein's regime.
|
As the senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, I have seen nothing that says Saddam Hussein has nuclear capability -- to either develop a weapon or to launch it, and certainly not to launch it to the United States.

If Columbus had an advisory committee he would probably still be at the dock.

Any time the intelligence committee pursued a line of inquiry that brought us close to the role of the White House in all of this in the use of intelligence prior to the war, our efforts have been thwarted time and time again, ... The very independence of the United States Congress as a separate and coequal branch of the government has been called into question.

Michelle Kwan means more to the United States Olympic Committee than maybe any athlete that's every performed. She's a leader, she's been gracious, she's somebody to cherish forever. She's a real loss to the United States Olympic Committee, to the United States of America and, I think, to the world.

Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.

A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.

In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a dictator substitutes himself for the central committee.

The Democratic caucus is rich in diversity. Democratic women have excelled in Congress leading our efforts on the Rules, Intelligence, Small Business, House Administration committees and the Steering and Policy committee, and Democratic women play a prominent role in every committee.

A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled.
|
I know, of course, how important it is not to keep a business engagement, if one wants to retain any sense of the beauty of life.

Could Hamlet have been written by a committee, or the Mona Lisa painted by a club Could the New Testament have been composed as a conference report Creative ideas do not spring from groups. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam.

A camel is a horse designed by committee.
|
Committee--a group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done.
|
We always carry out by committee anything in which any one of us alone would be too reasonable to persist.
|
So this new government committee is still limited to what it can really get accomplished. I think if the minister sits to the table and negotiates in good faith with the union�we could do this more expeditiously.
|
A conference is a gathering of people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.
|
I acknowledged that concern, and it is for that reason that the Intelligence Committee is going to begin this effort, trying to limit the scope and the overall review of what happened,
|
I would like to believe it _ and that's the way it should be, but there's some politics involved, ... Come on, let's be realistic. If there wasn't, do you think Virginia would fare as well as they're doing this week? No, it's because (Virginia Sen.) John Warner is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
|
As a result of this article, I was invited to testify in the Senate Judiciary Committee on privacy law.

In America every woman has her set of girl-friends some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who 'come out' together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
|
That's not the way to run the Intelligence Committee. We have really politicized it, and I think that's most unfair.
