I think you are doing a great job.

Serious incidents in places like Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima caused a number of people, both at home and around the world, to question the viability of nuclear power.

Given that development, Congress has an important role to play in ensuring that our Nation invests wisely in nuclear while at the same time maintaining our focus on safety.

I was looking for points of agreement.

We decided to focus on what we agree on.

I think the potential for having some of the nominees to serve on the Board is they have done this kind of stuff before.

I have quoted Einstein--I quote him a lot--in adversity lies opportunity.

The real key is, are we going to allow the Postal Service to get full value for the money that they pay in.

Some people say this is not a real liability for the Postal Service. I think it is.

It is not right. It is not fair. It is not equitable.

I was inclined to support your nomination until I heard that this guy to my left is such a strong advocate.

I look forward to strongly supporting your confirmation.

I believe we have a real opportunity here to inject some badly needed talent into the Postal Service.

This situation is worse than unacceptable. I believe it is shameful.

We need strong leadership on the Postal Service Board of Governors in order to take full advantage of the opportunities that are out there for the Postal Service.

The Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Rebecca Blank, has come into my office the last 2 years, both times asking for relief from regulations.

If you are wondering why wages have stagnated, look no further than the regulatory burden placed on the private sector by big government here in Washington, D.C.

We have an onerous regulatory environment, and we will probably have some differences of opinion on that.

To enhance the economic and national security of America. Those are inextricably linked.

I would urge you to spend some time with him.

Do we have any idea of the degree to which a baby born with this disease--this brain disease that you have described--to what extent does it impair their ability to function?

The CDC announced this week, as was described earlier, that the Zika virus is now confirmed to be a source of significant brain damage to developing fetuses.

If not the Vice President, how about the junior Senator from, maybe, New Jersey? He does not have much going on now.

The Vice President should be sort of the person to lead this.

One of their recommendations spoke--or at least attempted to speak to the point you have just made.
