"Mr. Secretary, let me commend you for the outstanding work you have been involved in on a myriad of different issues, all important to the American people."

"I will continue to reach across the aisle for support on this nonpartisan issue of codifying a quadrennial energy review, and I hope that we can find common ground."

"I have no doubt that you will go down as one of the most significant and effective Energy Secretaries of modern time."

"I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing today on the QER, and--as well as on a variety of other energy issues covered in the discussion draft."
