You can count on my support looking into that.

Let me ask you one last question very quickly.

He will be missed. I share your words in conveying our condolences to the family.

It's calling into question every loan guarantee that has been issued and quite clearly any future loan guarantees that will go forward.

What it comes down to, I think from a discussion perspective, is what is the priority here? Is the priority to create green jobs just to say that we have created a green job within the industry or is the priority to really provide for…

I appreciate that. As we look to streamline the Department's authorities in other areas we'll appreciate working with you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I did not have the opportunity to really come to know Senator Wallop in a working capacity.

He had worked for many years with my father when they were both members of this Energy Committee.

I'm hoping that the finance guys are not just checking the boxes and saying, 'OK, this one meets the financial criteria' without checking in with you to make sure that this is something that we even need and/or want and vice versa.

I think we recognize that it was just a start.

I guess I'm less than assured by your response.

I think it is something that, from a member's perspective, we need to be ensuring the wise and prudent use of taxpayer dollars when they go out toward loan guarantees whether it's for solar, whether it's for renewable or whatever the…

many of us remember exactly where we were on the morning of September 11, 2001. We will never forget the footage from New York as the towers fell, from the Pentagon as fire raged, and from Pennsylvania, where United flight 93 was grounded…

I rise today to introduce Early Intervention for Graduation Success Authorization Act. This legislation would, if enacted, amend the current School Dropout Prevention provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. It would focus…

It just seems highly inefficient and goes against the goals here for you to have a 3-month----

So my proposal to allow for purchasing across State lines is one avenue.

Alaska is one of these 17 States now that has been impacted in really a very, very harsh way.

Ten States were told at the end of June that they have insufficient rate review authority.

I've been working on legislation that would allow parents and grandparents in my State and any other State to purchase child-only policies across State lines.
