There should not be an arbitrary line drawn that says we cannot help this individual anymore.

Right now, we are losing an average of 22 a day, which is 8,000 a year, and that is far too many.

There is no difference, very little difference of opinion in regard to our infrastructure.

I do appreciate you holding this hearing about such an important topic.

The only thing I would say is that I think every company, every individual, all of us need to do a much better job of doing what we can, and we can, conservation I think is the key to this whole thing.

I think the question is, is the climate model science-settled, is the science settled as to how much people are producing?

The question is whether current climate science and predict and adequately explain the complexity of climate change.

Sadly, this plan appears to be all pain and no gain.

The President once said that his climate policies would make the cost of electricity necessarily skyrocket.

I guess the problem is that everyone else has been able to figure out how to do this except for EPA.

Again, as a very prominent scientist, you certainly understand the importance of that.

The idea that the data cannot be released because you cannot figure out a way to redact that or make it such that you are not providing those protections just doesn't make sense to me.

Make sure that it is based on science and common sense.

You mentioned to the Senator that was concerned about his statistics and you mentioned that his 2-year rate had gone down significantly.

Tell me about what has happened to the non-rating actions, those claims.

We will help you any way we can. On the other hand, in a very bipartisan way we are going to hold you accountable.

I agree that these must be priorities.

After decades of growth, the level of revenue coming into the Highway Trust Fund has begun to decline.

I am committed to working with Senator Boxer and Senator Vitter to find new sustainable revenue sources for the Highway Trust Fund.

We have broad bipartisan support for smart spending on infrastructure.

I am proud to be here to support James J. Moody's nomination as United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

I think this is great. There is lots of stuff going on up here, but this is a great example of us really trying to come together and get some common ground.

I think the GAO says that we are spending over a billion dollars in ancillary stuff and needing to consolidate, fund the programs that work.

It really does seem to be something that is a little bit of a no-brainer.

The actions taken to restore the Bay set precedence that may be duplicated in other watersheds.
