Eighty percent, 84 percent, I am told, of wildfires are caused by human action, but in Hawaii it's 98 percent.

I am looking for someone who is going to be a real advocate for our compact friends to whom we have an obligation.

I am concluding that you no longer hold these kinds of discriminatory views with regard to women serving in the military and homosexuals in the military.

At some point in time, we have to make good on the promises and the commitments.

I would like your commitment that you will support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's important duty to administer the Endangered Species Act to protect species in Hawaii and across the U.S.

I was shocked to see the President drastically slashing funds for the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy program.

Thirty million dollars a year for compact impact assistance to states like Hawaii is woefully short of what we actually need.

I hope that since this program has proven itself that the deference of support for this program, I hope, is something that is going to be resolved.

The Congress passed a benefits package for the Filipino World War II veterans and we are losing them by the day.

If my math is correct you have 700 lawyers. That gets you to 118,000 cases that would be completed once this new standard is implemented.

I think it makes a lot of sense, with a 150,000-case backlog, to basically triage the kind of cases that you have and move things along.
