"Thank you, Madam Chair, thank you for taking the initiative to hold this hearing today."

"We owe the workers of this industry a debt of gratitude for what they do."

"We must find out what went wrong, hold BP accountable, and on the record they said they will be accountable, under oath, for all economic damage."

"Revenue sharing is very important from the billions of dollars generated from this industry to make sure it is safe."
