I don't know why we have to come up with this thing about spying on people and putting GPSs in their cars.

I am going to ask if you would be willing to go back and give me responsive, complete and truthful answers.

That is why I am pleased that the Committee included provisions from the Boxer-Snowe bill to require airlines to provide necessities such as food, water and working restrooms to passengers who are stranded on planes.

Although language for mandatory deplanement after 3 hours is not included in the FAA Reauthorization bill, I strongly favor requiring a time-frame for deplanements and I look forward to working with the Committee to include an appropriate…

I was appalled, as many Americans were, to see passengers trapped in airplanes sitting on runways for sometimes as much as 11 hours without adequate food or water, overflowing restrooms, and no opportunity to deplane.

You view Iran as a realistic threat against the United States. A ballistic missile threat against the United States?

In June of this year, the Government Accountability Office reported that 'While EPA has made some progress in implementing its air toxics program, most of its regulatory actions were completed late.'

I hope we can all finally find something that we can come together on.

I'm petrified, as a matter of fact.

Air toxics such as benzene are known to cause cancer.

So would you support legislation that would take us further in the direction of commercial production of cellulosic ethanol?

I just wonder whether or not the Administration is going to ask for all the funds that we in Congress authorize for research and building cellulosic ethanol plants in fiscal years 2006 and 2007?

There are very few things we can do, it seems to me, as legislators, that could be so beneficial as turning to cellulosic fuel.

I also authored a provision in the Energy Act that required the EPA to study the amount of evaporation through rubber and plastic car parts with fuels that contain ethanol.

I authored a provision in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that required the EPA to study the health effects of the increased use of substitutes to MTBE.

I would greatly appreciate it. When do you expect that response to be ready?
