But, I want to say, for a small committee, we have a very big sized plate that is full, not just full of money, but full of some of the most important issues to the American people that any subcommittee, any full committee should have…

I continue to believe that this program provides the best opportunity to transform the stockpile.

It's absolutely impractical to me to have a facility that over the ages, we could not build because of political problems.

Because that's going to end up being the question--if we're not going to do this, in terms of a dismantlement and change, what are we going to do?

I found lacking the Secretary of Defense's ideas and yet, this is a defense program as much as it is not.

My question is, do you have money to make sure that you have proper controls over our Nation's classified information?

Clearly, we need to do more to keep our people safe from gun violence.

I do not believe that we should tamper with the Second Amendment of the United States and the Constitution of the United States of America.

I hope there's not a rush to do anything. We need to take a deep breath.

I hope that our subcommittee here will do you a favor and give you more money than what you requested.

I've seen astounding and compelling numbers indicating Democrats will pick up Senate seats in '08 because of the war -- not that Iraq is about politics.

I don't believe that. You can't erase e-mails. Not today.

Peeling back the veneer may not be as fun as it sounds.

In a major speech on Iraq, the Arizona senator also assaulted Democrats for failing to pass a bill to fund the war. He called it reckless and accused Democrats of putting politics ahead of policy.

The comments of Don Imus were divisive, hurtful and offensive to Americans of all backgrounds.
