"This is going to be a great hearing and a wonderful report."

"In behalf of the women of the Senate, but really everywhere, we want to thank the good men on this Committee, because this is not only a woman's issue, this is a human being issue, this is a human rig..."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for your leadership on this, and also the leadership of Senator Murray."

"I can't let this point pass without thanking my senior Senator from Maryland, Senator Mikulski, for her exceptional efforts with regard to these funding issues."
