Richard Burr actually said...

"We must be good stewards of these national treasures so that they are preserved for the enjoyment of future generations."

"I hope that my colleagues, both sides of the Congress, will allow science and science alone to drive our policies in the future."

"I hope if, in fact, we think that a policy like removal of automobiles or a cap on the population is something that ought to be policy, that we will sober up before we go out and publicly say that."

"But without the willingness of the American people to make the investment, we will come up woefully short."
