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

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.

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.

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…

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
