We are not producing enough veterinarians in the country, period.

We have got a problem here.

We probably should have had this hearing 8 years ago.

There seems to me to be a bigger picture here that we ought to be looking at.

Nuclear power contributes 70 percent of the emissions-free energy in this Country.

I think it has to be also looked at in terms of just what the reality is of the regulation.

We haven't done very much. The reason is because we have not been able to harmonize our environment, our energy, our economy.

I think it is time... to get these folks together in a room... and have them kind of outline, what is the vision?

I have every confidence that Ms. Jackson has the management capabilities and the wisdom to do what is necessary to run a good agency.

I would just ask, do you expect the Administration will be sending us a climate change bill to the Hill?

For every $1 that we invest, we get a $13 public health benefit.

We have the opportunity to do something about it, and some of us have actually called on the incoming Administration as we put together a recovery package.

As with Mrs. Jackson, the experience working on environmental issues with the Federal Government on behalf of California and the city of Los Angeles that Ms. Sutley will be able to bring to Washington will serve her, the President-elect…

I believe that Mrs. Jackson's past experience working with the EPA both at the State and Federal level will serve her in good stead.

In my opinion this is one of the most difficult positions in the Federal Government.

I want you to know that I am going to make sure that he fulfills that commitment.

I hope that because the cost of gasoline has gone down that we're all going to just sit back like we did in 1973 and just say, 'Everything's going to be fine,' because it's not going to be fine.

The worst thing that we can have would be--something come out, say that we've got a conflict there.

I think the Obama policy--smart power--I was in Europe this last month, and they're all excited about our new President.

Our public diplomacy is at a low ebb, I think Secretary Rice has tried to do a good job in the last couple of years in terms of multilateralism.

We have--if we can all work together on a bipartisan basis--an absolutely wonderful opportunity to really change the image of the United States of America.

How we handle them over the next 2 years will have a great impact on the future of our country and the world.

One of the reasons I'm not running is that I wanted to devote my full time to these historic problems that we have.

If we don't get this done, and they do go under, I believe that we're going to have a deep recession, and, quite frankly, from what I can pick up, we may just go over the cliff.
