Congratulations, Ranking Member Paul--who is my mentee--did you know that? In the Senatorial mentor program.

We want to preserve this act, and we want to preserve the intent that Senators Mondale and Gaylord Nelson had.

I really, I believe that the smaller, slower bridge would also require an exemption, a congressional exemption.

I think it would be good to keep those folks in Minnesota where they are able to contribute to our economy.
The idea that Government can create jobs in the economy is a myth.
Do you think that changing that rule might be, like, a swell idea?
We're trying to measure outcome. We're trying to measure outcome.
