"A letter about the sense of the Senate Energy Committee would help, you think, in moving and giving you the direction you need with the flexibility you already have?"

"I don't think we've come to an impasse on this."

"It might also help enhance our relationship, so that there is a partnership more."

"I thank Senator Manchin, Senator Barrasso, Senator Landrieu, and Senator Murkowski for holding this hearing."
