Thank you. And I want to associate myself with the remarks of Senator McCaskill and thank her for her leadership.

Dodd-Frank had not ended too big to fail.

I think it is very helpful, and I think it moves the debate significantly.

I have to believe that the folks not buying insurance tend to have lower risk.

30 percent seems like a huge margin when they assume absolutely none of the risk.

We have legislation to deal with this. It's broader that would deal with BLM lands and other public lands, but also deals with this broader issue.

The RESTORE Act was meant to implement quickly for the Gulf Coast to jump start restoration efforts.

I hope we have a rigorous, nuance discussion about the facts and specifically where they lead us.

Current global warming policies make energy much more costly.

I am frustrated all too often by discussions here on the subject in Washington.

This would not have happened without her. It went through the EPW Committee, and without her leadership, the RESTORE Act would not have happened.

It is America's wetlands. It is not just Louisiana, as we contribute hugely to the economic strength of this entire Nation.

As a leading Republican conferee on the highway bill, I continued to make the enactment, the full, final passage and enactment of the RESTORE Act an absolutely top priority.

As you know, no one felt the effects of the Deepwater Horizon disaster more than the citizens of Louisiana.

Treasury should resolve this issue before issuing the final regs.

The Council should also give priority to projects that address multiple criteria as opposed to only one.

I want to stress the importance of refraining from nickel and diming these funds.

the RESTORE Act was a big win, dedicating 80 percent of the Clean Water Act's civil penalties paid by the responsible parties to restoration and rebuilding.
