Ron Wyden

I think it would be very helpful, but he would not be my first choice of a witness at a public hearing. I think my first choice of a witness at a public hearing would be Michael Cohen because Michael Cohen is the President's go-to money…

What we said for purposes of the working group that we had when I was Chairman of this Committee, I hope you'll look at as something of your watch word, which is on these tough collaborations nobody gets everything they want.

It is the longest running battle since the Trojan War.

I think it would be very helpful if you could outline what you are going to do going forward to build greater support in the Basin.

Collaboration which is the key to resolving so many of these natural resource questions.

The watch word is 'collaboration.' That is what our constituents say when we go home in Arizona and Nevada and Oregon, but often it is easier said than done.

If we don't, the farmers get hurt, ranchers get hurt, the tribes get hurt and, of course, we set back the effort to protect wildlife in the Basin as well.

For folks at home and in rural Oregon, this has been the longest running battle since the Trojan War, and we have got to get it resolved.

I think it is just bizarre.

No President is above the law.

I still think a lot needs to be done to follow the money.

This looks to me like more evidence of a White House in disarray.

I said earlier we can't allow China to steal our future, and that's not drama and hyperbole, that's the truth.

But this is not the first time you have led our committee on these issues, as we have talked about with respect to the ENFORCE Act and the Leveling the Playing Field Act.

You are so right about the other side not resting, and I am going to get into that here in a moment...

What we need is action that will lead to concrete, positive results for both U.S. companies like U.S. Steel as well as United States workers.

The President's budget once again eliminates the program.

MEP is a critical tool in that toolbox.

I think that needs to be a central part of our trade agenda as we move forward.

I share your belief that this has to be public investment.

Let's see these reports.

Thank you for venturing here as well. I want to commend both of you for your leadership, your work on manufacturing, trade, and infrastructure issues.

We feel we can beat the pants off everybody as long as our government uses the tools that it has at its disposal.

You cannot afford, in a time like this, to pass up opportunities.

The President has legal authority to set all of them aside. He does not have to do any of them.
