Mary Landrieu actually said...

"Thank you Chairman Rockefeller and Ranking Member Hutchison, for calling this oversight hearing on the health and product safety issues related to foreign manufactured drywall products."

"I would also thank the Committee for allowing Randy Noel, a representative of the Louisiana Homebuilders to testify today."

"As the chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, and as a member of this appropriations subcommittee, I was never consulted or notified about the exemption language which was added in conference."

"We respectfully request that the Committee include $2 million for the CPSC to fully investigate and evaluate the defective drywall."
