Chris Coons actually said...

"Thank you for showing an unusual interest in what actually is done by Members of the U.S. Senate."

"Thank you for your leadership, and thank you for the opportunity to continue to work in partnership as we invest in sustaining the recovery of your nation."

"I want to make sure... that we are providing the right resources both to meet the emergency..."

"I am clear that without this sort of action that you, Mr. Chairman, have led in leading this bipartisan bill, we will not make progress."
