"I am delighted that you are holding the hearing this morning. I thank you for the opportunity to share a few thoughts with you."

"I am particularly concerned, as you are, Congressman Meehan, about the effects of a shutdown like this..."

"So the question really is: Are we setting ourselves up for that same kind of vulnerability?"
