"I apologize for the treatment you have gotten here today."

"One can stand up on a pile of paper, and that act could be construed... to be an intimidating act."

"This is a good example of coming together and legislating, and legislating to create some common good."

"I am also proud to cosponsor this legislation, and I thank you and the ranking member for bringing it up this morning."
