In California we have kept our per capita energy use steady. In other words, each person's energy use over time has stayed steady for more than 30 years, while the per capita energy use in the rest of the Nation doubled. Now, we have done…

They talked about the fires, the destruction, the lives that needed to be rebuilt.

I plan to vote in support of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act of 2007, better known as the DREAM Act. The thousands of talented and hard working children and young adults who were brought to this country by their…

The cost of doing nothing, according to the leading economist on this topic in the world, Nicholas Stern, is five times what the cost will be to address this issue now. So let's be wise about what we do.

That is why I am pleased that the Committee included provisions from the Boxer-Snowe bill to require airlines to provide necessities such as food, water and working restrooms to passengers who are stranded on planes.

Although language for mandatory deplanement after 3 hours is not included in the FAA Reauthorization bill, I strongly favor requiring a time-frame for deplanements and I look forward to working with the Committee to include an appropriate…

I was appalled, as many Americans were, to see passengers trapped in airplanes sitting on runways for sometimes as much as 11 hours without adequate food or water, overflowing restrooms, and no opportunity to deplane.

I will not vote for a man who put a bag over his head in the House of Representatives. That, to me, shows complete hostility to this great democracy. I urge a ``no'' vote.

We read here in the 'Columbus Dispatch' of Ohio, you own the two largest mines which recorded injury rates about a fourth higher than the national average. So, you know, let's not have a double standard about how much you care about people.

I would say to my friend, where we have come together because we recognize that to have a great country, you have to have infrastructure that is capable, that is going to meet the needs of our people. I would say to my friend, isn't it…

I talked with him about how much Senator Feinstein and I would like this bill. I think he is very open. I am sorry the Senator from Georgia does not feel as we do about it, but I think we have a good chance of getting it in the farm bill…

This is as close we have ever come to a dictatorship.

This is as close as we have ever come to a dictatorship.

But I do also know that those of us who study history, those of us who spend time in Iraq, those of us who spend time with various leaders, such as General Zinni, such as General Scowcroft, such as Secretary of State Baker, such as many…

If you went out and asked the average person on the street what they think about the Congress and whether we need ethics reform and if we should pass ethics reform, my friend, I think, would agree--and I will ask him this--they would…

I am voting present on the nomination of Douglas E. Lute to be Special Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Adviser for Iraq and Afghanistan. Although I respect General Lute's distinguished 30-plus year career in the…

I support drilling where it makes sense to drill. I oppose drilling where it doesn't make sense. I submit to my friend and to the Senate and to the American people that we made a very wise bipartisan decision a long time ago--and I think…

We don't have any offshore oil drilling very much anymore in California, but I am familiar with the big spill that occurred in Santa Barbara, which was so devastating that our State said never again, and our Governors, Republicans and…

I would like to get the attention of Senator Bingaman... it deals with any coastal State, and it is defined here to mean Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia…

This Energy bill is supposed to be about reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, not increasing it. It seems to me that by turning to the same old, same old is ignoring the fact that our coastlines and our shores and the area out 50 miles…

It is very rare that I have such a strong disagreement with my friend, Ted Kennedy, but I don't understand the agitation over an amendment that simply says that a program that allows 200,000 foreign workers in here, a generalized…

Here is the point: You are doing no harm to these people. Under this bill, these people have to leave at the end of 6 years. They are done. So for the Senator to say this somehow hurts people in the long run, it simply isn't true. This is…

The California delegation strongly supports the projects included in S. 1248. I hear the majority leader's concerns. Being chair of the committee, I, of course, support the language in the committee's recommendation with respect to the…
