Remarks by Secretary of Defense William Cohen and Bill Gates
Thursday, February 18, 1999
Redmond, Washington
DEFENSE SECRETARY WILLIAM COHEN: Thank you, Bill. (Applause.)
Bill, thank you very much. And Bob Herbold, thank you for inviting me to come here today. (The next comment refers to the former Army officer who is now in MS training) I had mixed emotions about you leaving the military and coming to work here. (Laughter.) And I'll tell you, I gave you mild applause. (Laughter.)
I might also point out that we have some seats that say, "Reserved for the Cohen staff," that anyone who does not want to stand up can use.

DEFENSE SECRETARY WILLIAM COHEN:
And at the same time that I mention this, there is also a gap that exists by some in this industry and our military. And it's gap that is not unique to this industry but I think is somewhat indicative of that in our country. There is a sense that in many places beyond this campus, from Sunnyvale to Silicon Valley to Silicon Alley, that there are some in the digital world who dismiss the importance of national security, that some soldiers in the high-tech revolution don't fully appreciate or understand the soldiers in camouflage, that tanks and guns are somehow rusty relics of the past and may be obsolete in the new information-based world that is going to carry us into the future.
I think of this because there is one Silicon Valley executive who said about as much in an interview that he granted to the New York Times columnist Tom Friedman. He said that: "We don't even care about Washington." He said: "Money is extracted from Silicon Valley and then wasted by Washington. And why would I care about wealth destroyers?"
I am not even going to bother turning around to see if there is any kind of receptivity behind my shoulder. (Laughter.)

Mrs. Barley: There's nothing strange about Washington, Mr. Carpenter.
Klaatu: A person from another planet might disagree with you.
Mrs. Barley: Well, if you want my opinion, he comes from right here on Earth -- and you know where I mean.
Mr. Krull: They wouldn't come in a spaceship. They'd come in airplanes.

Tora! Tora! Tora!
From Wikipedia
Tora! Tora! Tora! is a 1970 Japanese-American war film
The tora of the title, although literally meaning "tiger", is actually a two-syllable codeword that abbreviated the longer phrase totsugeki raigeki ("lightning attack"), used by the invaders to indicate that complete surprise had been achieved.

New CIA chief Hayden sworn in
By Katherine Shrader
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Gen. Michael Hayden was sworn in as CIA director Tuesday and told the officers at the embattled agency they must be competent and cooperative to keep the "central" in Central Intelligence Agency.
Even with those marching orders, Hayden reassured the agency that it remains key to U.S. spy operations and analysis.
In his first day on the job, Hayden told his staff that only the CIA has the "connective tissue" to bring the intelligence community together. A fan of sports metaphors, Hayden compared the CIA to a star player on a football team: critical but part of a whole that must work together.
Hayden addressed the work force for under an hour, taking questions and getting a standing ovation
From 6/17/1972 ( the Watergate burglary ) To 5/30/2006 ( ) is 12400 days
From 11/2/1965 ( my known birth date in Antlers, Oklahoma, USA, as Kerry Wayne Burgess ) To 10/15/1999 ( ) is 12400 days

You said all debts have now been paid. That was the message Linea left behind.

Was it?

Subject Re: Missed HOPE Appointment, 5/30/06 @ 3 PM
I'm really sorry about that
I appreciate all your efforts and I'm sorry to just miss the appointment without calling. I've kinda zoned out there for a while. I found out that the VA denied my service connected disability claim so that is pretty discouraging, especially because the doctor set my expectations much differently. If Thursday afternoon is still good for you, I would like to set something up then.
