"I know Denise well. She is just a superlative public servant, a superlative human being."

"She is a nonpartisan, on-the-merits person, the kind of person Senator Grassley mentioned."

"The job of managing the Bureau of Justice Assistance is like taking a thousand points of light and making sure they all stay lit."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I am really honored to introduce one of the most dedicated and talented public servants the State of New York has to offer: Denise O'Donnell."
