Byron Dorgan: “Can you please give me a substantive reason why this funding has been eliminated again this year?”

We need and the people in the Great Plains need, concrete results.

You know, I do not know that I can offer you much advice except to say we have painted ourselves into a fiscal policy corner.

I know the word 'privatization' has been used. I did not use it.

I know that everyone sitting at this table has a passionate desire to fix these problems.
