I have a 9-year-old. It's an unthinkable thought to lose a child.

Thank you all for being here. And I really appreciate all of you and your contributions that you're making into this.

I agree. Thank you, very much.

In Minnesota, this isn't just good advice, it's the law.

Thank you very much for your preparation and, for those of you who traveled--those of you--we appreciate you very much.

I think that Senator Klobuchar and I, we get it, and we're going to try to do something about this as quickly as we can.

Senator Klobuchar, who's been a leader in the area of carbon monoxide poisoning prevention, has introduced S. 1216, the Residential Carbon Monoxide Safety Act.

As the Chairman of the Consumer Protection Subcommittee, I believe this is an important consumer protection issue that requires this Committee's scrutiny and collaboration.

I commend Senators Klobuchar and Nelson for their continued leadership in alleviating this critical public health and safety issue.

One of the simplest and most effective defenses against this insidious killer is the installation of a carbon monoxide alarm in the home.

Yes, thank you for being here, and your courage and dedication.
