"Before we conclude the hearing, I would like to add into the record of this proceeding the statement of our distinguished Chairman, Senator Patrick Leahy, in favor of these nominees."

"Thank you for your statement. I know how busy you are as our Majority Whip and Assistant Majority Leader."

"I meant mandatory testing of every single violent criminal."

"I think it is a very valuable tool, and I assume that all of you would support mandatory DNA testing of violent criminals."
