"Unfortunately, I have to begin today's hearing expressing my disappointment in the tactics and process from your side of the aisle."

"I hope that if the chairman intends to move forward on any of these bills, that the Administration, stakeholders, and Democratic staff would have an opportunity to weigh in."
