I want all of the investigations to be completed before the plant is restarted.

31 of our nuclear plants are identical to the one that had problems in Fukushima.

I look forward to reading it. I have not. I have read remarks pro and con.

The Senator skipped over George W. Bush, who caused the deficits. But let's not argue that.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:06 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, May 21, 2013, at 10 a.m…

Should Congress prohibit manufacturers from suing their parts suppliers for making faulty parts that trigger expensive recalls?

We agree with you absolutely. When a customer goes to the rental car counter to get a car, they should be notified.

Fix it if it's broken. Don't fight us.

You might as well not--you can't see anything.

Do you think--do you think, sir--I didn't ask you whether they do it or they don't. I asked you if they should.

We're trying to protect our constituents, whether they own a car, whether they lease a car, whether they rent a car for a weekend.

We ultimately concluded that our customers would expect us to support this type of legislation.

We will look and see as to whether what you recommend is in the public interest.

If you don't fix recalled cars in a timely fashion, it's a problem.

I want to say, Madam Chairman, thank you very much for this opportunity. I hope we will be successful, and I know working with you has been a real experience because---- because, because, you're a no-nonsense Senator.

We agree with the objective, we agree with the intent, and we want to make sure that we solve this problem without introducing adverse consequences.

This is just so straightforward.

Frankly, it's shameful that this hasn't been fixed before.

I intend to work with my colleagues--and anyone who knows Claire McCaskill and Chuck Schumer and myself and Lois and others, I'll tell you, they know we're going to be dogged about it.

Anyone standing in the way of this legislation ought to think about it if this had happened to their children, their grandchildren, their niece, their nephew.

I thank Senators Boxer, McCaskill and Schumer, and your staffs, for taking the lead role on this legislation.

My philosophy on this one is you shouldn't take that long to figure out how to work this out and fix it.

We believe that the manufacturers should comply with the Federal safety standards.

I want to pick up on this whole question. It sounds to me like you want to write our bill.

You created the problem if the car is broken and you should fix it.
