"I have really, frankly, learned so much from the people of your State and I have such respect for them."

"I think between Senator Vitter and myself, and Senator Landrieu, we can cover the Committee and see what they think about this."

"And as long as I am Chairman of this Committee, you are not going to lose it."

"You have people who are hearing you, are listening to you and you also have within your community the intelligence and the drive to save what James Carville says is a very special culture."
