Thomas R. Carper: “One of the things that Senator Capito and I try to do is develop consensus on difficult issues.”

I usually default to the golden rule, and I think in this case it's a pretty good guide as well.

I would say there is a lesson here for both of us, and one of those is to make clear I am always ready to take your calls, your meeting, whatever you want and engage.

Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.

I want to thank our members for being here today.
