Fast? It goes back to 2002. Please.

Are you questioning what he told us today?

That was the most vague testimony I have ever heard.

My understanding is that about 30 percent of what you have recommended has not been adopted by any of the agencies.

Lives are at stake and action must be taken now. Not tomorrow. Not down the road.

We want to look at these and see what we can do.

Those risk management plans have to address the risk.

I think it says it all here. We need to do our work on the issues that matter to the people. We need to make sure the economic recovery gains steam. We need to make sure we look at this sequester and fix it. We need to make sure we have…

Thank you for holding this hearing on water resource issues in the Klamath River Basin.

On June 12 and 13, 2013, I filed two amendments, Nos. 1258 and 1282, to S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. The name of Senator Hirono was inadvertently omitted as a cosponsor of both…

I think we will talk about it--maybe we will want to see Secretary of State Kerry, or at least do a conference call with him, where we can underscore this.

Our friends are mothers with small children. They are artists who are expressing our social and political views.

Congress should remind the administration that the Freedom Support Act is still on the books, our national commitment to its goals is intact.

We need to, if we can, put human rights on the agenda, which we have learned is not on the agenda.

America is capable of global leadership when it believes in itself and in its values.

This is the face of the repression in Putin's Russia. It is 5-year-olds taken from their mothers because of 1-minute rock performances.

We are calling on the Russian authorities to immediately release the two imprisoned band members, Marie Alekhina and Nadya Tolokonnikova.

Our band stands for many freedoms, including our feminist values.

I think the crucial question is whether the United States stays interested in this issue and puts resources behind its interest.

This crackdown is not about silencing opponents only on the political fringes. This is about stifling all who would question consolidation of power under President Putin and his Siloviki allies.

I want to see a strong and productive United States relationship with Russia.
