"Don't you think for a fraction of the cost we ought to try to clean up what we have now?"

"I am really disappointed that this administration has fallen to the same pattern of underfunding the Corps' budget."

"I don't want you to think that I don't recognize the extraordinary work and importance of the Bureau of Reclamation."

"I want to thank my colleagues for working with me on helping us restructure this debt, because we were never going to be able to pay back the interest."
