I hope you really--and Lanny, I hope you guys in the Justice Department will really look at this too, because I know too many companies that I think have been abused because of negative short selling.

Regulation SHO--do you think Regulation SHO has really worked that well?

Look, I don't think it's the right thing to allow people to negatively short sell, especially when they do it to a company and knock its stock way down deliberately.

I think short selling may be valuable. I don't think that negative short selling that's abusive is valuable. I think it's destructive.

I believe that number is probably closer to 50 than it is the 195 that has been bandied about.

I would not exactly characterize these prosecutions as 'successes.'

The statistic in my own opening statement, that still sort of stunned me when I kept on reading it over and over again--the fact that a person with H1N1 going to work, according to the CDC, could contaminate or affect 10 percent of that…

The increases in the price of energy caused by the program would reduce workers' real wages.

Is it possible to construct a cap-and-trade program that reduces carbon emissions, that is not felt by the poor?

What bothers me a lot is that, when I was chairman of the Labor and Human Resources Committee, now called the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, I used to go over to Geneva to the ILO, the International Labor Organization.

Should we not say 'shift,' if it appears that the coal, oil, and gas States would lose a significant amount of jobs?

Well, I am very interested in how a cap-and-trade program would affect the poor.

If the United States implements cap and trade unilaterally...we would, indeed, make ourselves considerably less competitive.
