To have years of a gap between which States can act appropriately is very problematic. Would you agree?

I am doing everything I can to make sure the bill minimizes that to the extent possible.

When it comes to broadband deployment, you don't have to look far to notice the inadequacies that exist in low-income communities and rural areas.

I think we can still do more to reduce the burdens on local governments and protect their freedom to innovate.

Broadband is more than a technology--it's a platform for opportunity.

I wish to pick up where my friend left off. I thank, from the bottom of my heart, the leadership of Senator Lee and Senator Durbin on what is an extraordinary piece of legislation in terms of its impact. My colleagues have made it clear…

Everybody in New Jersey knows Senator Frank Lautenberg as an incredible champion of not just issues regarding health and safety, but also of children, seniors and in fact, any cause that was just.

As mayor of Newark, I saw firsthand how critical local governments are to finding innovative solutions to the unique challenges they face.

criminal justice reform is critically important to me. And what you're doing and through your advocacy... is, to me, absolutely essential to end the nightmare of broken families

I think that users deserve the right to an open Internet, not just rhetoric.

Why should we be afraid of States' rights to take action, especially when the EPA's budget, as we are seeing right now, continues to get hacked away and away?

That strikes me as fundamentally American--and something we should support.

I intend to continue working with Senator Vitter and Senator Udall, the bill's co-sponsors, in hopes of addressing these issues and making the bill better.

I have a lot of grave concern again about surface transportation and surface protection.

The security of our transportation modes is a critical part of the country's well-being in general.

Lord knows we need more bipartisan work in the Senate.

Lead exposure is toxic to humans.

I think it would be objectionable to the overwhelming majority of Americans if they knew more of the truth of what those traps do and how this legislation would open up nearly all Federal lands to such a barbaric practice that has some…

I have a serious concern about trapping. It is something that I know other countries have banned specific types of traps, because of their inhumane nature, body-gripping traps, specifically, and accidents that happen with body-gripping…

I understand 90 percent of our resources may be going to aviation, but anybody that is looking at a map of terrorist attacks since 9/11 would say hey, wait a minute, rail is really important.

I almost think in requesting for the budget, this might be an area in which we know we have a vulnerability.

Can you explain the thought process underpinning the decision to only station law enforcement officers within 300 feet of the TSA's screening check points during peak travel times?

I am really grateful not only for you being here but really for your service.

That seems a little weak to me, and again, not putting our priorities to where the security risks exist.

I just want to say, and I know my time is going to end in a moment, I hope I have another round, just to remind the Committee, since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, there have been nearly 2,000 attacks against transit systems globally…
