The question I would ask, again, is that those of us who have had a concern about this for many, many years have studied the language quite carefully. I particularly have because of the fact that we had two partial-birth abortion statutes…

If you agree that the medical technology today is better than it was in 1994, can you explain to me why the Alan Guttmacher Institute, which is an affiliate of Planned Parenthood, published a survey of abortion providers, showing that the…

Is my colleague from California aware of the fact that those of us who want to ban this procedure believe the language in this bill is not vague and that it will sustain a test in the Supreme Court of the United States?

I very much would hope that as we go forward this year that Senator Inhofe and Senator Jeffords and you and those who support this centrist approach that we have tried to clear up will enter into a good dialog.

Senator Jeffords has, as you know, been a champion on this front in saying it is not enough to address sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, and mercury emissions, but we also need to address carbon as a concern for global warming and greenhouse…

We do say carbon is a problem and we do call for addressing it in a way not as aggressively as Senator Jeffords has proposed, but we do call for addressing it.

I think you know that we are going to introduce legislation which will ensure that our Nation's chemical infrastructure is secure while consolidating and streamlining these efforts.

I have introduced legislation that would reauthorize funding for the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) program.

I take our oversight responsibilities very seriously.

I think we need to really start to look at some of these deadlines that we have set to see if there isn't a way that we can maybe adjust them.

I intend to send a letter to the appropriators asking them to fully fund the Great Lakes Legacy Program.

Putting together a budget is a process that requires responsible prioritizing and fiscal discipline in order to avoid breaking the bank.

Unfortunately, as is often the case around here, responsibility often gives way to rhetoric.

I take our committee's responsibility, oversight responsibilities, very seriously.

The 4 percent increase in spending is a good start down a fiscally responsible path.

I was distressed a little bit to hear our Governor yesterday say, well, our solution is to file a lawsuit against the EPA.

We need to prioritize our spending to achieve maximum health benefits.

I congratulate this Administration on its environmental record, which demonstrates excellence under all honest scrutiny.

I found the alarming snapshot of information about mercury levels to be vague and potentially misleading.

Jeff's commitment to individual rights, his civility as an opposing counsel, his sense of fairness, his devotion to civic responsibilities and his keen and demonstrated intellect all reflect the best that is to be found in the legal…

I have known Judge Cook for over 25 years. I know her to be a brilliant lawyer, a wonderful person.
