I hope we'll be able to hold it off, because stories like this help us make our case.

I would call on Aetna Insurance and your company to make it up to you.

I am very disappointed that the Paycheck Fairness Act was filibustered today. The Paycheck Fairness Act passed the House on January 9, 2009, by a vote of 256-163 and Senate passage is long overdue. This critical legislation will strengthen…

WRDA was one of those bills that Senator Inhofe and I teamed up to override a George W. Bush veto.

Let me state that I am going to add myself today as a co-sponsor to the Levin bill, S. 2312.

If we are going to grow America, we have to make sure we keep up with the infrastructure. That is the bottom line.

I hope that--I haven't discussed this directly with Senator Inhofe, but I am hopeful that he will agree with us.

I think it is extremely important for us to look at not only the levee safety issues and to provide the levels of protection, but to communicate them extremely clearly to the public.

I am feeling good about this. At a time when people say, can we work together, there are areas where we can work together.

I think that this S. 3213, which restores that trust fund for its stated purpose, is a very good thing to pull both sides together.

I am very pleased to look forward to passing a WRDA bill.

We support the $650,000 request to provide in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers General Investigation Budget.

There is a growing consensus that smart investments in transportation are an important part of the solution to the serious economic challenges we are facing.

Senator Boxer and I introduced this legislation in order to initiate quick action to make our pipeline system safer.

we hope this time Congress and the Administration will pay close attention and provide a strong, comprehensive solution to pipeline safety instead of offering a Band-Aid for a broken bone.

I guess my concern is, they come in and they say, 'We need to fix it.' And they don't fix it.

I think that was your list of the top 100 high-risk pipeline segments.

the CPUC has not issued as many fines as some other states have.

How soon can you get it to me?

Senators Boxer and Feinstein have introduced legislation to enhance public safety, strengthen oversight and improve accountability.

But, I'm assuming that you're not in any way saying that that's a good enough response--2 hours.

Tragically, 7 people lost their lives. Another 66 were injured.

So, the investigation is ongoing, and it will take a while. And the NTSB is phenomenal, and I share Senator Feinstein's confidence, but it will take them up to 18 months to come up with an answer here that they can be sure of.

I asked for this hearing because we can't move forward until we really look at what happened here.

I believe that the NTSB is going to take a year to 18 months.
