"I want to just conclude by, again, commending you, Senator Whitehouse, for being a true leader on this issue."

"I think this is probably one of the greatest challenges facing our country today."

"I look forward to working with all of you as the administration's proposal goes forward and is amended and amplified through the legislative process."

"I like to think we have moved from the days where if you know something, you might tell them; otherwise, you do not."
