Texas has received less from the Federal Highway Trust Fund than the state has contributed in gas tax receipts.

I like those adjectives of 'more,' 'better,' and 'faster,' and I look forward to our working with you to accomplish those in upgrading our air traffic control system.

I would like to hear your views on whether you share my concerns for the need to modernize and upgrade our air traffic control system.

I look forward to working with you on it.

I authored and Congress passed and was signed into law, it directs the Department to look at moving the Office of Commercial Space Transportation back under the Secretary.

I look forward to this Committee working closely with you to streamline that process.

I just ask your views on how overregulation slows down transportation projects.

I want to talk about several topics quickly, because we have limited time.

The State court's opinion was, 'particularly unreliable and misleading.'

The Eleventh Circuit concluded that that precise language concerning prosecutorial misconduct was 'particularly unreliable and misleading.'

The Alabama State Bar adjudicated that matter and on February 16th, 2000, the State bar unanimously dismissed the complaint.

The Ethics Commission unanimously dismissed the charges against Sessions for insufficient facts.

And my point is simple, Mr. Cole. This Committee can assess what occurred there.

Well, you also omitted the fact that the evidence in the case showed absentee ballots had been tampered with.

I will tell you, I admire your doing so, and I will issue a challenge to our friends in the news media.

I want to commend the Democrats on this Committee, for, I think, showing admirable restraint.

I think your performance today has reassured this Committee and even more importantly, has given comfort to the American people that you will be an Attorney General who will faithfully apply the law without partiality.

It is particularly unfortunate when that attack is not backed up by the facts.

I would vote against your confirmation. And the reason I am so enthusiastically supporting your confirmation is I have every degree of confidence you will follow the law faithfully and honestly.

Free speech is a wonderful thing.

For 8 years, we have seen a Department of Justice consistently disregarding the rule of law.

You are a friend; you are a man of integrity. You and I have worked closely together on this Committee, on the Armed Services Committee, and I have every confidence you are going to make a superb Attorney General.

In threatening Sony executives, North Korea effectively committed cyber terrorism against the United States.

I think that is a threat I hope that you all are examining closely.

What happens when the non-state actor decides that cyber offers an asymmetric advantage to them?
