Under Senator Salazar's leadership, the US Department of Interior will continue to set a high standard in the pursuit of historical preservation policy results.

I am writing on behalf of the Colorado Historical Society to express our strong support for Senator Ken Salazar's nomination to be the next Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior.

I look forward to having additional conversations with you, not only about a carbon tax, but about subsidies.

We should permanently end the moratorium on gas and signal to the energy community that they are able to invest here at home to produce energy and jobs here at home.

I would hope that as part of the stimulus package, again speaking personally, there is a focus on getting credit access for those companies in the form of loan guarantees and the like.

We have to focus on this near term opportunity both in the stimulus package and in the TARP.

We should also extend the renewable tax credit for now.

We should reward them for efficiency improvements in those buildings.

I think that my first priority would be to invest, make sure that the economic stimulus package that the Congress enacts includes significant investments in low carbon and energy efficiency infrastructure.

I look forward to working with you and Senator Bayh and everybody to get this right.

We should raise the ceiling on the loan guarantee program so we can get more nuclear power plants built.

Thank you, Chairman Bingaman. I am honored to join the hearing today and am looking forward to working with you and the other Members of the Committee this Congress.

We need to find business models that reward efficiency both at the supply side out on the consumer side.

We don't have the luxury of picking one source of energy.

I think that there's a way the stimulus package can be used to nourish those companies at a time of great pain.

It's an honor and pleasure to sit on this subcommittee with you.

I very much look forward to working with him as we work together to protect the Nation's treasures under our park system.

It's really that white-collar crime where people, instead of representing the public interest and the people of the country, instead of representing their own personal interests. And so that's why we went after the white collar crime.
