"Thank you for doing this hearing. I think the issue of pipeline safety is a very important one."

"Thank you, Chairman Lautenberg, and thank you to the panelists."

"It is time for us to get to work again on pipeline safety."

"I hope that you move forward in that other area as aggressively as you can, because I don't really see much hope that Congress is going to act aggressively on this."
