"we spent 42 trillion in Iraq, and he was wondering, you know, that money might have been spent in other places."

"Without the funding secured by Senator Leahy over the years--and it does go back decades--our ability to operate the Drug Task Force at the level of success it enjoys today would not be possible."

"Under your leadership, Senator Leahy, this Judiciary Committee has held three field hearings in Vermont on the issue of drugs in recent years, including opiates."

"Thank you for your unwavering support of the city of Rutland. It is appreciated by all of us who are working tirelessly to get this right."
