Jeff Bingaman: “Your dedication to public service, your thoughtful consideration of complex issues provides a superb model for public…”

I'm honored to be here with Senator Udall to strongly support the nomination of Mike Connor for the position of Deputy Secretary of the Department of the Interior.

First we would want a person as Secretary of Energy who had a knowledge of science and engineering.

He has demonstrated, on numerous occasions, his ability to find solutions to very difficult problems and to find solutions that could gain the support of Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike.

I think all of us, if we were choosing a Secretary of Energy, would want to choose somebody with those attributes.
