"Legislation--I've worked with Senator Vitter, and we--the legislation that I signed onto does have retroactive liability alterations in the Act."

"I have heard some complaints, or concerns really, that this raises constitutional questions about the ability of Congress to retroactively alter this situation."

"I would just suggest, if there is a possibility of a criminal investigation, and everyone is presumed innocent, but if there is, the FBI should be involved in that."

"With regard to the damages of cleanup, the cost of all the cleanup, is there any question that the responsible party--this case, BP--is responsible for all the cleanup costs?"
