Mary Landrieu: “This is not a Louisiana issue. This is not a gulf coast issue. This is not a coastal issue. This is a national issue.”

With all due respect, I say to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: let's let local law enforcement and the elected officials in city government do their job, and we should focus on ours.

If this process is not fixed or focused or made better, it would really be not worth speaking about.

The Senator from North Dakota can do his closing and then I will yield to the Senator from California. Would that be OK?

That MOU would not have been possible without Alex and without the Federal push coming down to tell them, 'You must work together,' and maybe we need stronger.
