Senator Boxer. The fact is, we are doing 40 percent. And the States and the cities and everybody else, and the counties, are doing the rest.

We need to make sure we can build the roads, but do it right, make sure that we have environmental protections.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 6, at Camp Pendleton in my home State of California, one of the true heroes of our country will receive a rare and distinguished honor. On what would have been his 25th birthday, Marine Cpl Sean Andrew Stokes…

Now I am confused, truly, honestly. I thought Senator McConnell said, after you informed him there were changes to the bill, that he was very concerned about that and he needed time to read the bill. That is what I heard both of you talk…

I read it while the Senator talked with Senator Schumer. This is LIHEAP, a program that has been around for decades. This is $1 billion to help people pay for the expensive cost of heating their homes. As I look at my friend, Senator…

I am very glad the majority leader is going to do that because the President--not only is he pushing us to pass his version of the stimulus package--and he is worried about it; he is scaring the American people, saying if we don't have…

We have to ask this President: Why are we in Iraq? The answer depends on when he was asked. Once upon a time, we were told it was about weapons of mass destruction. Remember? We had to go find them. Our military found there were none. Then…

My question is, if you want to go to it right now, why did you tell the majority leader that there were changes to it and you needed to read and take all 30 hours to read the bill? I don't understand.

In November of 2007, I joined my colleagues Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer in requesting that the FDA test a variety of lipsticks for lead.

Despite numerous requests, we have not been informed of the results of any testing.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

You really are, in so many ways, a role model for us all, just -- not just as elected leaders, but really as citizens of -- of this -- of this country.

Elections have consequences.

We know that the surface of the earth is warmer and an increase in greenhouse gas as caused by human activity is contributing to the problem.

I'm petrified, as a matter of fact.

I would greatly appreciate it. When do you expect that response to be ready?

I just wonder whether or not the Administration is going to ask for all the funds that we in Congress authorize for research and building cellulosic ethanol plants in fiscal years 2006 and 2007?

I authored a provision in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that required the EPA to study the health effects of the increased use of substitutes to MTBE.

So would you support legislation that would take us further in the direction of commercial production of cellulosic ethanol?
