I am very proud to come back to speak on the disinterested effort we have made and I believe that with all due respect that the decisions we made when we turned our final report over to President Johnson will stand in history.

In parallel with the development of my interests in technical gadgetry I began to acquire a profound love of and respect for the natural world which motivates my scientific thinking to this day.

I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction as long as you approach the actual history with respect.

A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well yeah all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.

How have relations with Iran and Belarus benefited Venezuela? We are interested in countries that have democracies that respect human rights that we have an affinity with. What affinity do we have with Iran?
