I like the tone of the outcome and where we are headed.

I think we are on our way to making some progress.

These rules are simply outdated.

The fact of the matter is if you have these States--and Vermont and Oregon are particularly concerned.

From my vantage point, it is hard to see how just putting Band-aids on this issue, the question of reforming the Satellite Home Viewer Act, is going to really address the concern.

I think that the Internet and satellite technology, along with digital cable, these are fantastic technologies that are able to now deliver consumers what they want to watch.

I would close this discussion with Senator Bennett by saying that I think, having listened to his comments with respect to Social Security and knowing of our work together on health care, if anything, we have seen during this last couple…

I simply want to say to Senator Bennett, my partner lo these many years in the bipartisan effort to fix health care, how much I appreciate his leadership on the Social Security issue. I think everybody understands what the demographics are…

we rise to offer this resolution in recognition of a historic day for my STATE and the people of Oregon. On February 14, 1859, 150 years ago, President James Buchanan signed the bill that admitted Oregon as the 33rd STATE to join this…

I've been very concerned about the potential for violence against Iraqi translators that are currently working for our military.

I greatly appreciate your very kind remarks, and I value the time that you took to come here today.

I think it is a good idea. I think we will pursue very vigorously every way at our disposal to try to see that that happens.

We need to pay very careful attention to the adequacy of our support for fundamental research in this country.

These translators are performing a great service in terms of advancing American security in a very difficult arena, and I appreciate your interest.

Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. As an alum of this Committee, I know how much you value good science.

I don't believe that a change of a single individual as president would change in and of itself a fundamental Iranian policy like development of nuclear weapons.

Everyone in this room understands that if we are going to make enduring changes in climate change, they are going to have to be bipartisan.

We are looking at that very carefully, and I would look forward to working with you and Senator Nelson and the other members of this committee on how we can shrink that gap.

I'm also concerned that the development of the smart grid could create more potential vectors for cyber attack.

I wish to mark a sad occasion: the recent death of one of Oregon's most respected Members of Congress, Wendell Wyatt, who represented the First District of Oregon from 1965 to 1975. He died peacefully on January 28th at the age of 91 in…

In your view, Director, are there any terrorist groups capable of mounting a significant cyber attack on our country today?

I want to hold the record open on this point because I want to know specifically what you would do to beef up the fight against white-collar crime relative to what was done in the Bush administration.

I want to ask you about the unusual case of Ali al-Marri, the legal resident of the United States who has been held at the military brig in Charleston for the past several years.

What our country has always been about is protecting the public good--in this case, fighting terrorism ferociously--and at the same time, being sensitive to individual liberty.

Senators of both parties have worked hard to limit the costs of the economic recovery legislation. This bipartisan amendment that I offer with Senator Snowe and Senator Lincoln will, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, reduce the…
