Cory Booker actually said...

"the U.S. Commercial Service has had, over the last decade, a pretty bad reputation and sub-par management."

"this is one of the best opportunities for this economy to grow and actually produce the kind of jobs that we as a first-rate nation should have."

"Service in this capacity is also a sacrifice, and I am just greatly appreciative of your willingness to step forward and serve your country."

"As a powerful senator, I can put things in the record."
