"Curtailing or reducing State authority under the Clean Water Act would inflict serious harm to State and Federal authorities established by Congress."

"I think it is a real mistake to advocate for earmarks and to be blase about it."

"I think that is a critical role for OMB and GAO to play together."

"I certainly remember my time on the Appropriations Committee having GAO come up first in a panel and having agencies come up second, and seeing where the truth was in the middle."
