I commit to you that I will make every effort to complete transfer reviews as quickly as circumstances permit.

Going after waste, fraud and abuse, including getting these new databases in place, will be a top priority for me.

I am certainly willing to examine the effectiveness of the program in its current form and to make significant changes if warranted.

I like your optimism, at least. I'm not sure I share it, but I like it.

Part of that process--not only does it support innovation, creativity, not only is it going to be a part of the future engine of our country, economically--

We certainly see that the enforcement of our trade laws is one of the common challenges that we face from things like transshipment of U.S. goods to Iran, to protection of our pharmaceutical companies' intellectual property, to proper…

If we as Americans do not continue to make things that are tangible, we have a very long road ahead of us.

Our desire is not to create a mechanism to force businesses to do anything.

There will not be immigration reform without some sort of employer verification system.

This system has to work. I mean, it has to work for everyone involved.

This is a time in our history when public service is not necessarily as comfortable as it used to be.

It seems to me that the rule of law has been under attack.

It is incredibly important to make those decisions early on while the individual suffering from the disease still has the ability to make those decisions.

We want to improve the way in which Americans express their wishes about how they wish to be treated when their illnesses are advanced.

I look forward to working with my colleagues to make sure that that funding is protected and increased.

The fact of the matter is that South Carolina has been a State on the fast track to creating racial parity.

I am looking forward to having the opportunity to see a fair, balanced approach come to our State.

I know that you said during our meeting that you would spend your first 100 days or so doing a listening tour, understanding that the No. 1 priority in our country is jobs, jobs, and jobs.
