Thomas R. Carper: “I hope we are successful.”

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.

I want to thank our members for being here today.

I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.

I think the greatest way that the Commission can have an impact on that is probably through our rate-making authority.
