"The fact that this bill has only Republican co-sponsors, 50 of it, sends a message to us that it is not a bipartisan bill."

"There is a common theme between the underlying bill and the ranking member's substitute, and that theme is the need for greater transparency."

"I think we should focus on substance and not derail ourselves over something on which we are simply not going to agree."

"We have to play a very, very important role."
