"In the great tradition of Senators, that is what we are expected to do."

"Thank you, Chairman. Thank you for having this hearing. We had a similar hearing in this committee last March, and at that time all the panelists were for a single, consistent national standard."

"Statement of Senator Blunt."

"The President and the Attorney General have both taken a position, and both agree with the need for preemption."
