Jeff Bingaman: “We applaud the general thrust. But any consent based approach will enjoy a higher probability of success if Congress…”

In December 2010 U.S. Senators Tom Udall, Tom Harkin, and Jeff Bingaman requested an independent study from the National Academy of Sciences on whether chimpanzees are necessary as invasive research subjects.

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.

Second, we would want a person with demonstrated managerial abilities.

The President, in my view, could not have chosen a better nominee for the position than Mike.
