QUESTION: Madame Secretary , when you - as the Administration gauges members of Congress and moves retail, as you say, one to one, what is your early impressions about the kinds of things that we'll need to be committed to beyond what's sort of already in the public domain to shore up support for the three deals (www.state.gov..../93380.htm)

QUESTION: Madame Secretary , Steve Hurst from the Washington Times . Some observers of the Bush Administration trade policy point to what they fear might be a switch away from a - I want to say this diplomatically (www.state.gov..../93380.htm)
SECRETARY RICE: The three trade agreements are a much preferable - from the American point of view, much preferable to continued trade preferences that make it not a two-way street, that don't level the playing field for the United States. And so of course, it should be - these three trade agreements should be through by that tim (www.state.gov..../93380.htm)
SECRETARY RICE: Well, I - just a little bit what I said to Ambassador Hills earlier when we talked about what we need to do to defend free trade, I think the first is that you really do have to show people how beneficial free trade is, first and foremost, for the United States economy (www.state.gov..../93380.htm)

SECRETARY RICE: Well, I can't speculate about what would happen. And of course, we will cross that bridge when we come to it. But in terms of President Uribe, he's a democratic - democratic leader.

QUESTION: Secretary Rice, thank you for doing this again. And actually, Iranian boats harassed and provoked a U.S. naval ship in the Gulf, and yet the Iranian Foreign Ministry is just saying it was normal and was resolved. Was it normal and was it resolved (www.state.gov..../98853.htm)
SECRETARY RICE: Well, there is nothing normal about what the Iranians did, at least I hope that's not what the Iranians consider to be normal behavior, because it was provocative. And that kind of provocation is dangerous, and I would sincerely hope that the Iranians would refrain from any such activity (www.state.gov..../98853.htm)
SECRETARY RICE: Well, American policy on this has always been very clear that the Israelis have roadmap obligations, including the ceasing of the settlement activity.

SECRETARY RICE: Well, we've clearly said that Israel has obligations, that it should not engage in settlement activity and that seeks - that tries to somehow prejudge the outcome of final status. America is very clear on that (www.state.gov..../98853.htm)
SECRETARY RICE: Well, I have said that this is something that really must happen. Libya is slowly being welcomed back into the international community of states. It's got a Security Council seat.

QUESTION: Madame Secretary , do you plan to raise the matter of human rights with President Uribe during your talks with him, and especially the problem of the union leaders? There are still some problems with union leaders (www.state.gov..../99687.htm)
QUESTION: Madame Secretary , so what are your fears if this free trade agreement doesn't pass? What position would that put Colombia in? And also, I just wondered if you could talk a bit about your take on relations between Colombia and Venezuela at the moment, which are under strain (www.state.gov..../99687.htm)
SECRETARY RICE: Well, it's obviously a difficult situation. Let me just say to start that this problem has come first and foremost out of the security situation created by Hamas in Gaza, their unwillingness to stop - and I'm quite certain that they could if they wish to - the rocket fire against Israel (www.state.gov..../99687.htm)
SECRETARY RICE: Look, obviously - let me just say first of all, the President and the Congress are trying to do what they need to do in terms of the economy so that all of us can experience an economy that is continuing to grow.
