"It's a good piece of legislation. It should pass."

"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 remain committed to working with the Committee, and both the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture."
