Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I am concerned we are losing private forestland at a very alarming rate."

"I remember when I first raised it, people thought I was referring to a character I heard about in a comic book named Batman."

"I have worked so hard over the years to finally be able to pass the Leahy-Smith bill, one of the great bipartisan efforts of both the Senate and the House."

"I have introduced the STRONG Patents Act of 2015, along with my colleagues, Senators Durbin and Hirono."
