Harris Wofford said "I commend the senior Senator from Pennsylvania for putting this amendment forward. I look forward to our accepting that amendment. We have had hearings. Senator Dodd has brought forth witnesses that have made very clear that, on the LIHEAP matter, this is a matter of great urgency. People have died in our State. Full funds should be restored. This amendment will make that possible. The other elements of the amendment, I think, are good steps for us to take at this time in sending forth a signal that we are getting our priorities right. I think we can cut down on consulting and we can bring up to full funding our support for LIHEAP and the other parts of this amendment, so I urge an affirmative vote." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
