I think it has been very important. So thank you so much.

We must have continued investment to maintain these jobs and make additional needed improvements to our infrastructure.

I like the stream of funding that goes into the Highway Trust Fund.

We continue to hear loud and clear that the need for investment is great.

This is something we can get done, but nothing should be off the table, even if at first blush, you know, we reject it.

I think it is important that so many people came here... We want to get this job done.

I am of a mind that pay as you go is really a good thing.

President Obama at first in the budget took this whole trust fund idea and basically said it is not working.

I'm proud to be here today to support Governor Gary Locke in his nomination to be Secretary of Commerce.

Senator, thank you very much. And thank you for the contribution you made to this debate, working with Senator Bingaman.

If we decide that more and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is fine and it was just great 50 million years ago, when there was three to four times as much, I mean, if we decide that, and we don't mind that things changed dramatically…

I appreciate very much the Senator's persistent leadership through this. I think that as people look back through time and look for responsible behavior at this moment, they will see her efforts as a shining example and others as…

I think that was part of our last approach. I am thankful to you for raising this issue because I think it has to be key to our next legislation as well.

And we have been challenged by our President. I couldn't be more proud of this Committee.

We are going to have that choice between my colleagues who say, do nothing, the party of nope, versus do something, the party of hope.

I shudder to think of what it means is going to happen.

I am very happy to see Dr. Christopher Field here.

I feel this is really the most extraordinary argument I have ever heard, that we could go back to the times that were so long ago and everything would be fine.

If anything we need to do, it is to leave this planet in the condition as good as we got it from our parents.

I haven't heard hysterics.

I could tell you in California, this is important, that the preliminary analysis from our bill there addressing global warming is going to avoid 400 premature deaths, 11,000 incidences of asthma and lower respiratory symptoms and 67,000…

I hope that you can address how these issues translate to my community, to lives lost, businesses lost, homes lost because of flooding.

No, Senator Boxer. The combination of rising CO2 and the associated earth system changes, such as warmer temperatures, will have a range of impacts on health, as I described earlier.

You had seven. You had seven when we started. So you are out of time.
