The air crew did a marvelous job of saving the aircraft,

We've got some people on the way down there tomorrow. And we'll continue to work hard both here and in Washington. And it appears also the Chinese have lost an aircraft and we're sorry that occurred.

We've got assurances that our crew is safe and sound and that we'll get to see them soon.

There is little doubt that they have been over the airplane ... We are sure that the crew is not on the airplane, and we have every reason to think that the Chinese have been all over the airplane, ... Good Morning America.

I think we'll be busy with it for the next day or so. We're trying to get it sorted out.

I think it's a time for rhetoric to be very measured and constructive, and not be rhetoric that does not lead toward solutions, ... I think it's a time to proceed very cautiously and thoughtfully, and a time for creative solutions.
