I am glad the Senate is considering a forest health bill with the opportunity for us to offer amendments. Let me be clear that I do not agree with that portrayal of the debate taking place in the Congress. I have always viewed active forest management as not only a desirable policy but one that is absolutely necessary.

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 knows the crucial role that Congress plays in setting policy and in overseeing how that policy is carried out.
I think all of us, if we were choosing a Secretary of Energy, would want to choose somebody with those attributes.
