Thomas R. Carper: “There is a debate that is unfolding on the floor today.”

Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.

We help make the rules for the country, and we do not do this by ourselves.

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 felt forever that there's actually revenues opportunities for the Postal Service through vote by mail.
