Jeff Bingaman: “We strongly support S. 398's provisions and strengthening of national energy efficiency standards for refrigerators…”

I would certainly like to thank Senator Bingaman, who just retired just very recently, for the strong support that he has shown me over the years, and including support for this nomination.

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 wouldn't be here without it.

It's important that we have a person with substantial knowledge and many varied skills in order to succeed.
