Tom Udall actually said...

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

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

"I think that also speaks to the importance of the legislation I have introduced, which would give us more research."

"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."
