I have been arguing that fiscal stimulus would not be sufficient.

I have joined Senator Carper in supporting a 2-year reprieve from this requirement to help the Postal Service weather the current economic crisis.

Our postal reform law was crafted with great care and with the assessment of enormous amounts of information and viewpoints from a wide variety of sources.

The GAO was disappointed with the Postal Service's responses and believes that the Postal Service has yet to make a case for urgent relief while charting a course forward to fiscal viability.

The establishment of AFGSC will clearly align nuclear operational units under a single command and demonstrates an Air Force commitment to the nuclear deterrence and global strike missions.

Secretary Gates, I understand that Eighth Air Force and ACC have made a number of changes as a result of the transfer of nuclear-armed cruise missiles from Minot, SD, to Barksdale, AZ.

It truly, in some ways, is a dream come true, for some of us, to have a person of your caliber and integrity and pureness of heart to run an agency that--and Department--that is truly in need of extraordinary reform.

I am here for two reasons this morning, and I will be brief. One is to reluctantly support my friend Ray Mabus for Secretary of the Navy, only under the condition that he be fair to the State of Louisiana in shipbuilding with our neighbor…

Opportunities have been squandered for years, and it's time to get that fixed.

I think, in large measure, these lands, perhaps because they lie under great depths of water, are not recognized as part of this agency's responsibility.

I was delighted to visit with Lisa recently, talk about many challenges she will confront in EPA.

I never thought I'd say these 45 seconds ago, but I agree with the secretary 100 percent.

The truth of the matter is, it should have never been opened. And now of course it's another mess that the Democratic administration has got to clean up along with the economy and everything else.

I think she should do more, I think she should go that extra step, but it shows the confidence, I'll use that word, of the Clintons.

I don't think there's any conflict with foreign donors giving money to his foundation that Senator Clinton might have to have dealings with?

Another similar example, Assam Fares, former Deputy Prime Minister of Lebanon. He's a big supporter of Hezbollah.

I really do think this poses a lot of real and perceived conflict issues.

Just this past December 19, they made a substantial contribution to the foundation and that same day, the president of the foundation was indicted for obstruction of justice related to terrorist financing.
