"I want to thank you again, Madam Chairman. I am very grateful for your courtesy in allowing me to preside this morning."

"I look forward to continuing that relationship with her as Secretary of high capacity as the Republican leader of the Energy Subcommittee in the House."

"I would like all of us to take a moment to thank our Chairman--Chairwoman, if you would--for the great service to this Committee."

"Are you aware of any personal holdings, investments, or interests that could constitute a conflict of interest or create the appearance of such a conflict?"
