Things like leg room and all that?

If you're taller than six feet, do you have to pay more to get on an airplane than someone that is shorter than six feet?

What's more important, the room in an airplane with seats or your tray that goes up and down in front of you?

I want to make sure that we're all on the same page, and that is that we realize that air flight and passenger care does determine the quality of any trip an individual goes on.

Yes, but my problem when I talk about process is with the government agencies themselves.

How do we hold these agencies accountable?

So I have legislation I'm working on with the Chairman that will streamline the Federal permitting process.

I believe that people in these communities deserve broadband, and Valley Electric told me that the delayed applications from the Federal land agencies is the number one barrier to broadband deployment.

There's a lot of temptation sitting at this seat to make a lot of decisions, but the biggest temptation is this muffin that's sitting right here in front of me.

They do know this, that if communities don't have broadband, the people will leave, and that has been a concern for the rural portions of our state.

Identifying communities that are willing to host for long-term repositories, rather than forcing it upon States, is the only viable solution to our Nation's nuclear waste problems.

It is time to move past failed proposals of the past and look for solutions to the future.

My position remains the same. It is that Yucca Mountain is dead.

Since 1987, Yucca Mountain's Nuclear Waste Repository has been a thorn in Nevada's side.

You can imagine a city like Las Vegas, I believe it is some $60 billion or 13 percent of the GDP for the state just in convention business.

All we are trying to do is align the disclosure requirements with global standards so that our domestic mines have economic competitiveness.

The earlier you get there, first of all, the less damage, but the larger the chance of restoring these individuals that have been defrauded.

I think Senator Kennedy talked about a few of them, and my colleague from Indiana talked about a few of them.

My biggest fear right now is going to be runoff this spring.

We have four counties right now that have submitted for Federal help and have received it from the Administration.

I want to begin by thanking the Chairman for some of the changes that you've made on how the Commission operates so that, frankly, there's more transparency and openness in your process.

If an infrastructure bill includes broadband, which I certainly hope it does, how could you deploy that?

They are concerned that they will not have the appropriate funding to cover clearly all 600,000 Nevadans who are on the program and who are on Medicaid.

I have not supported, will not support legislation that does weaken Medicare.

I just want our veterans to know, back in the State of Nevada, how hard that office is working, the men and women that are committed to our veterans to make sure that they do get these benefits and services that they need.
