"I hope the Chairman will join me in providing stability and certainty regarding chemical security--and avoid taking actions, which would undermine enactment of a bipartisan, long-term reauthorization."

"If we were to accept cuts of the magnitude proposed, it would make our nation less safe, and make it harder to achieve the effectiveness we all seek."

"I believe that with a bipartisan, bicameral process we can quickly give stakeholders the certainty they need and move a long-term reauthorization of CFATS to the President's desk."

"I hope the tradition of bipartisanship on this issue can continue, despite the actions taken by the Majority today."
