Ron Wyden

We commend Senators Wyden and Stabenow for their leadership in promoting a technology-neutral approach to reducing oil consumption in the vehicle fleet.

The real strength of S. 1001... refrains from picking technology winners and losers.

We must expect, and accept, that some will not succeed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I'm supporting your work as well.

What Senator Stabenow and I are seeking to do is to help the vehicle manufacturers and the suppliers and providers remove the barriers to deployment.

What my question essentially involves--because there's a lot of good work that's being done.

I think what Senator Shaheen and Senator Portman have done is a very laudable proposal. I'm certainly planning to support it.

Thank you for your continued work to support this proposal, showing that wilderness protection is an important public value for our state and our future.

I thank my colleague. I think it is critically important that the Senate know we are going to keep the heat on, on this issue. Senator Cantwell and I have tried to point out that the agency is dragging its feet. They could use their…

My colleague has made a very eloquent case with respect to how this hammers the people who need oil on a daily basis--farmers and truckers and restaurants. The Senator from Washington juxtaposed their position compared to the speculators…

I have done everything I can to support trade, and particularly an economic philosophy that says what we ought to be doing in this country is growing things here, making things here, adding value to them here, and then shipping them…

Obviously, with the kind of heartache all across the country in terms of working-class families and this economy, you certainly cannot ignore those projections.

I want to see Trade Adjustment Assistance locked in on the President's desk so that nothing can be done, with the way Congress works, to make it something that is put off until another day.

I want to give the last word to Ms. Lee, but I just think we have to have this iron-clad, and it has to be signed into law so we do not play Russian roulette with the well-being of those workers who deserve those protections.

Trade Adjustment Assistance, to me, is absolutely key. Absolutely key.

Numerous helpful proposals have been put forward that would give Customs needed new enforcement tools, including by Senator Wyden and some of his colleagues.

We would welcome the opportunity to brief the subcommittee on the results of this review once completed.

We are currently conducting a review of the issue of evasion of AD/CVDs at the request of Senators Ron Wyden and Olympia Snowe.

We would welcome the opportunity to brief the subcommittee on the results of this review once completed.

Thank you for introducing Senate Bill 607.

Without the passage of legislation, the corporation will run out of commercially viable timber to harvest.

Southeast Alaska's remaining timber industry, which is a vital sector of the economy, is on the verge of collapse.

The equitable satisfaction of Sealaska's remaining entitlement is long overdue.

Let me interrupt only to say I've been called to the Capitol for a meeting.
