"Parties to mergers should receive comparable treatment and face similar burdens, regardless of whether the FTC or the DOJ reviews the merger."

"I sincerely hope that we can work to find an evenhanded solution that promotes competition in the market and protects the public interest."

"Mergers should not be treated differently depending on which agency happens to review it."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to welcome all of today's witnesses."
