We've been doing our homework. I understand these concerns, but I don't necessarily agree [that they are real issues].

I am still hopeful, and maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist, that we can finish this year.

I understand that there are still issues that perhaps we cannot totally agree upon. However, we agreed to continue dialogue and this constitutes an important aspect of our commitment to democratic ideals.

We can't complain, but we don't necessarily agree with it. Still, it's something we can live with.

I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

I would agree with most of the concerns, ... Anyone looking at that arena would come to these conclusions and have these concerns very quickly. We wouldn't be doing something unless we had all the concerns addressed.
