Sheldon Whitehouse actually said...

"This problem of agency capture deserves a great deal more attention than it is presently getting."

"I appreciate Senator Feingold's statement, and that will be added to the record without objection."

"The situation at MMS, as Senator Whitehouse has pointed out, is a good example of this form of capture."

"The fundamental principle is that the administrative agencies must further the policies crafted by Congress."
