"I support this legislation. I hope we can bring it out, report it quickly, bring it to the floor."

"I especially want to use this occasion to thank Chris Dodd for his career and his focus on children and families."

"This bill, as it's presently headed toward passage, is a colossal mistake."

"Let us not lose it because we are tied to one particular way to, you know, accelerate the funding or generate the funding."
