Barbara Boxer actually said...

"Together, we need to put America back to work."

"I have been working closely with Senator Inhofe, Senator Voinovich, Members on my side, and our intention is to hold a series of hearings and then sit down and write the bill."

"I want to thank you personally for the work you did to help us finally get this short-term extension, and now hopefully the long-term extension done."

"Thank you, Chairman Boxer, Ranking Member Inhofe, and distinguished members of the Committee."
