"I think that if we are all being honest, we will recognize that, of course, Congress meant to provide DOE employees with enforceable whistleblower protections."

"DOE employees deserve the same whistleblower protections that are provided to employees of DOE contractors and subcontractors."

"do you think this bill should require that States use a portion of their funding to help recover threatened and endangered species as part of the Act?"

"I believe that additional funding for these efforts, as well as for Federal agencies, will go a long way in Illinois and across America."
