Rob Portman actually said...

"There is an old bromide in the Senate which is so true--that you start getting things done when you don't mind who gets the credit."

"We have to have this legislation."

"I want to thank him personally for his commitment to this and to all my colleagues for their support and long-standing interest in the parks."

"Mr. Chairman, thank you so much for having this hearing and for co-sponsoring the legislation and for your passion for the parks."
