In the coming weeks, we plan to hold a senior officials meeting of all partners in Washington to identify steps to achieve transparency, to improve donor coordination, to build capacity and develop containment strategies.

We believe there are multiple paths to be pursued here,

We also believe firmly that negotiations will not reap progress, as indicated, because there are differing perspectives.

No nation has made a greater contribution and a more concrete commitment to sustainable development.

Hopeful signs span the globe and there should be no doubt that the years ahead will be great ones for the cause of freedom,

This goal sets America on a path to slow the growth of greenhouse gas emissions and, as the science justifies, to stop and then reverse that growth,

It is our belief that progress cannot be made through these formalized discussions.

The Internet, especially, can be a liberating force. Topics once politically taboo can become freely discussed, and people can communicate anonymously. We must ensure it does not become a tool of repression.

One size does not fit all.

We do not see this as a replacement, we see it as a complement to the Kyoto Protocol.
