"Mr. Turner. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I have looked at this as a who, what, when, where investigation on the Federal side, and also the issue of, you know, where was the money, where did it go, and then ultimately how do we get it back?"
"This was done with taxpayers' dollars ultimately... what came out at the other end with General Motors and Delphi was a different animal that went in."
"when taxpayer dollars are stake, and when the auto task force made up of Federal employees is making the decision, that is the key issue here."
"I mean, we do not buy, and no one in this room buys, that there was independent General Motors in that bankruptcy."
"I did not want our chairman to leave because obviously one of the things that I want to do is to thank him."
"Thank you for coming here, for having this hearing."
"This is not an issue of division between you. It is winners and losers chosen by the government, not chosen by your fellow co-workers."
"We need to determine and learn the manner in which this was done so that we can correct it."
"Will you release the documents?"
"You should be releasing those documents."
"I think we have learned a couple of things, one of which is the fact that the administration was in on all sides of this deal."
