"Thank you, Senator McCaskill. I mentioned before you could be here that ideally we will get something drafted for which we can get a majority of the Committee before we depart in December."

"I think now I come to a different kind of conclusion, which is that there is genuine ambiguity in the law."

"I hope that the two of you will be able to work with Senator Collins and me to come up with a joint bill."
