"Eliminating the process and putting it in the hands of a hyper-partisan, dysfunctional Congress is counter-intuitive to the goals of transparency, consistency, and integrity."

"So, my suggestion, and the solution, would be--let's codify the criteria, make the changes from the old, broken system that we dislike to begin with."

"This bill does not add transparency, does not add consistency, does not add scientific-based, does not make it less political than what we already have."

"The old process was broken."
