Tom Carper

We created something called the 'Alliance for Prosperity' a number of years ago...

Why is it important for the Congress to take up and actually debate and pass comprehensive immigration reform?

I am not surprised but disappointed with the tenor of this hearing today.

We can do something about that.

The last exclusion process was far from perfect, and left many questions about speed, transparency, and fairness.

Over the past several years, tariffs on China and subsequent retaliatory tariffs have caused significant economic disruptions for U.S. businesses and farmers.

I believe that one of the best ways to counter China's rise and their anti-competitive trade practices is to work together with our allies.

Recently, I joined Senator Portman, and several of my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle, to encourage USTR to re-start an exclusion process.

Many of my colleagues today have expressed their concerns about China's growing influence.

I will go to my grave wondering why in the world we walked away from a trade agreement...

I wonder if you might take a couple of minutes, if you will this morning, to share with us your thoughts on the benefits of taking a multilateral approach to trade in order to remain competitive with China.

Senators will be allowed to submit questions for the record through close of business on Friday.

Thanking you all once again for your willingness to share your wisdom, your expertise, and inclusive instincts with our Nation.

If I am confirmed, my job will be to help the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service contribute to our efforts to tackle climate change.

I love this committee. I feel so fortunate to serve on it.

I am pleased... Almost without exception the comments are just, you have really won the hearts of your moms and dads.

It is really now our job to make sure that we squeeze every ounce of value out of every single dollar and we get it on the landscape, working for the American people.

There is a good spirit here. I hope this is a good spirit that we can continue to embrace.

I consider that work to be a highlight of my career.

Bipartisan solutions are lasting solutions.

I am Tom Carper and I approve that message.

I want to provide my assurance that if confirmed, I will ensure that our activities are conducted transparently.

I am just very, very proud of the work that we did.

We don't need to be blinded by science; we need to be guided by science.

Communicate and compromise. Communicate and compromise. That is also the secret to a vibrant democracy.
