Thomas R. Carper: “What we have done is we use the intern program. It is almost like in baseball, like the farm system, single A, double A…”

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

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

If I had known--as you know, the breadth of the issues that we cover in this Committee are enormous. It is impossible for any of us to fully master each of them.

I think that's disgraceful.
