I think it is important to have community meetings.

Well, we have to ask what is the Government for, is it just for war?

How are you going to pay for it? No one really asks that question.

If we are committed on universality of service, then we are going to take a stand on behalf of the Post Office.

I have concerns about the private sector taking over services that these facilities provide, because privatization of a public need like the Postal Service would be a disaster.

I am concerned that final decisions regarding each branch under consideration for consolidation will be made without full community participation and input.

I am a strong supporter of the Post Office and I am deeply concerned about the USPS's financial condition.

Is it your judgment that they would be operationally effective in high threat environments such as Afghanistan?

I think that would be good if you did that with the idea that it may be a separate classification.

Are you confident that you looked at each and every record that was available through the Department of Defense?

Did you have access to the records of the Department of Defense going back to 1916 or 1917?

What makes us a democracy is transparency so we can actually see what's happening, and, if something is going wrong, that we have a chance to make it right.

Federal employees who do the right thing and expose wrongdoing that is happening in their job within their sphere of activity deserve to be thanked, not punished.

Isn't it true that Section 4.01 of the trust agreement calls for the trustees to provide the New York Fed with monthly custodial reports?

I think it's imperative that this committee get the minutes of their meetings and get their phone logs so we can know what they talk about.

Will you be able to let this committee know whether or not you intend to honor the letter that says that you're going to pay bonuses to people?

As this special award is being made to a very select group of executives, I ask that you treat it as confidential.

So do you intend to honor the commitment that you made in the letter?

I came to this Congress not to represent these people on Wall Street who have been shafting the American people.

Until this matter is resolved, you are going to keep getting called in front of Congress to explain why it's OK for AIG to cheat police, firemen, teachers and public employees.

AIG cheated police, firefighters, teachers, and public employees in Ohio out of $96 million.

These are people who protect our neighborhoods, teach our children, dedicate themselves to public service, and AIG cheated them out of $96 million.

I am asking these questions on behalf of my constituents in Ohio who are policemen, firemen, teachers and other public employees in Ohio, who AIG defrauded, defrauded their pension funds.

Does your business plan include settlement of lawsuits against AIG for bid rigging, accounting fraud, and market manipulation of AIG stock prices?

Is it an accident if an employer fails to provide safety equipment?
