"I think it is important that the Federal Trade Commission's authority be returned."

"I think they should have greater authority to go after scammers, and simply getting stolen money returned or a court order preventing further illegal activity is insufficient, in my opinion."

"I just want to thank all of my colleagues for the respectful manner in which we have been debating today."

"In this great country of America, thank God we have a Federal Trade Commission like the FTC."
