Barbara Boxer

We are all here today with the same goal, and that is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

We have a historic opportunity to peacefully achieve this goal.

As Senator Boxer noted, this is a judgment shared by many of our key partners.

Cleaning up the environment in the past has always been a bipartisan effort.

You and the subcommittee chairmen will make every effort to consult with me and the subcommittee ranking members prior to announcing a committee or subcommittee hearing.

Elections have consequences

I am excited to be working with you. Really, we do have, in this committee, the opportunity to work across party lines on some things.

I am so happy for you.

I really appreciate your proving the point that clean air regulation works.

You and the subcommittee chairmen will make every effort to provide me and the subcommittee ranking member opportunity for topic and schedule consultation at least 2 weeks prior to any hearing.

I disagree strongly, because I come from a State that has an incredible climate change program.

Justice delayed is justice denied, and that is happening to too many Californians.

I would like, again, to thank this Committee for holding this hearing and moving forward on this important nomination.

So everything is on the table. And I think that is very important.

I make this humanitarian request to release Jason and ease the extreme pain of his family.

If you were bamboozled, the world has been bamboozled.

I think it is essential. And I do not think the American people want another war.

Why wouldn't you know that is a no-brainer?

I don't want to hear all this. I know what your goals are. When are you going to do it?

If you are ignoring that, then you are not following the law.

Thank you so much for your commitment to improving chemical facility safety and security and for your efforts on behalf of America's workers.

I don't know what the heck your deadlines are. I need it in writing. What are your deadlines?

Ammonium nitrate is so dangerous. If you are dealing with it, as West, Texas is, they haven't been asked to do one thing different.

This is absolutely outrageous.

I am disappointed in the Administration's response to the President's Executive Order.
