"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and congratulations, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Gaynor, for your nominations, and, if confirmed, your willingness to serve in these very important positions."

"If confirmed, I will look forward to working very closely with you to do this."

"I stressed with you the unique challenges that we face in the Upper Peninsula, as we are trying to deal with this situation, primarily the construction season, which is very short there."

"We have to keep pushing that out to make sure that the States are responding appropriately and have proper guidance from CMS."
