Jon Tester actually said...

"The Sentinel Project is a project that is near and dear to both Senator Hoeven and me."

"I think that is ineptness on Congress' part, not on yours, and we tend to tie your hands behind your back when we don't get budgets done on time."

"The amount that is in this budget... is inadequate. And I think it is inadequate because there was the decision made to put a 1 percent cap down months ago. That was a bad decision."

"I want to thank you all for your testimony and your concise answers with the questions. We appreciate that."
