When the GAO uncovered in its investigation--what it uncovered I think is very alarming.

Troubling and unacceptable

I am very worried about a potential serious accident.

California is far and away ahead of anyplace else in the country.

I find that unacceptable.

You can be sure it is something that people want. So I very much appreciate that.

I worry a great deal about the size of the foreign military footprint in Afghanistan.

The United States stands to lose $5 to $9 billion in agriculture sales to foreign competition if Congress does not act.

The harm that is being caused to this Nation by not moving.

There is indeed a dark side in this country, and that dark side really prefers to distort the issue.

I agree with your statement, and I agree with Senator Cornyn's.

For whatever it is worth, it is my position that any change has to have retroactive consideration.

I would want to know what is the practical impact of this.

And it seems to me you cannot eliminate the disparity without having a program to release people from prison who are under these laws, thereby unfairly sentenced.

Well, what would be the eligibility of people in prison for immediate parole, assuming there was retroactivity and the 1:1 standard was in place?

Philosophically, I agree with what the administration has said.

I have been a cosponsor with Senator Hatch on changing the formula to 20:1. My interest in coming here this morning is to try and see what the appropriate change should be.

If a detainee is adjudged to be an enemy combatant either by a military commission--they can be held subject to due process

I'll hold you to it. Short answer. I won't forget it.

I very much appreciate this and I am not going to forget it.

The ability to move soundly, aggressively, and legally to prevent the movement of drugs, and also prevent the movement of guns from America down to the cartels is very important

Marijuana is not currently regulated by the FDA. Medical marijuana is not.

If confirmed, will you please be an advocate for getting decisions out of the Justice Department?

These HIDTAs on the southwest border, in my view, should be given the highest priority

There is no question but that what is happening in Mexico is having a deep impact all throughout America's southwest border
