the people on the ground understood that wilderness was the wrong way to protect the land

the bill before the Committee in my view is a centerpiece of the old paradigm

My door is always open. I will be happy to talk to anybody because I am as committed as anybody in getting this problem solved.

I want to thank Representative Jim Matheson for introducing this bill on behalf of the Uintah Water Conservancy District.

I don't think we should completely eliminate the program.

I am concerned about putting a cart before the horse in terms of how we go about engaging the health care reform.

I feel that the Congress has a moral obligation to bring closure for the loyal Americans who experienced the brutality of the occupation on Guam.

I don't think that is appropriate. The whole idea behind Medicare Advantage was that it could compete with traditional Medicare.

Congressman Matheson and I have made significant changes to the previous proposal. . . . We have removed the corridor designations for . . . the Northern Corridor.
