Eleanor Norton actually said...

"I am trying not to look backwards. I am trying to be prospective."

"If I had to start, I would blow up the place, give it to Mr. Dowd and say, let's start all over again."

"Chairwoman Norton, I applaud your leadership role and the effort to strike the right balance between security and access to our Federal buildings."

"Absolutely. That bothered us. Two months to take down a sign saying that a monumental public possession of the United States of America is private property."
