"It's great to be here to help introduce a long time friend, Sally Jewell."

"He led our country in implementing important legislation like the Clean Air Act, the 1992 Energy Policy Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act."

"He was a brilliant, courageous leader who belonged in the halls of power and foreign palaces."

"I think it is of the utmost importance, given the size and scale of its impact to our economy, that the agency is held accountable during this process."
