Political Quotes

“I thank Senator Burr. I think it also demonstrates the diversity, geographically, that we have a Senator from North Carolina, a Senator from Montana, and a Senator from Colorado. It doesn't matter if you are a Western State or a State on the East side of our Nation. I knew Senator Burr would talk about the fact that it costs the taxpayer nothing. I hear that all the time. Members care deeply about responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. It doesn't cost the taxpayer anything. There is another word I always hear from Senator Burr; that is, it is ``permanent'' reauthorization. This is no longer an experiment. This is proven. This is why we need to move away from this temporary reauthorization and make it permanent. I am pleased to have another colleague of mine from Colorado, Senator Gardner, join me now. We would be border States if it weren't for the State of Wyoming. Senator Gardner is in the southern part of the Rockies, a beautiful State. I am grateful to have the Senator as one of the key champions in the U.S. Senate of LWCF, Mr. Gardner.”
