I do not think there is anybody that does not want to catch the bad actors and that believes that there are not any bad actors.

Instead of helping our small businesses and entrepreneurs we are saddling them with more paperwork, more recordkeeping and more fines and penalties.

I am just hoping that we can do it without putting a whole lot more burden on you and your business.

Do you know how many forms the employer fills out on each employee and how many forms the employee signs?

What I am concerned about is the burden that we are putting on those that have been good actors and would be good actors and intend to be good actors, although sometimes they make a mistake.

This bill is a symbol of what is wrong with Washington today.

I want to catch anybody that is doing these things that I consider to be completely illegal--completely illegal.

I always hope that reality exceeds their dreams, but it does not always happen that way.

Everyone knows that small business entrepreneurs have been the drivers of our economic recoveries in past recessions.

This is going to penalize the 97 percent that are doing the right thing.

As a U.S. Senator, I want us to get all the withholding, all the payroll taxes, all the unemployment compensation taxes, everything else that we can get in.

I think this is a symbol of what is wrong with Washington today.

In these efforts that you're doing, what are you doing to ensure that you're able to compare the health of the general public before and after the spill, since you weren't really stationed there before the spill?

Could you cover, again, how severe the health conditions are of the individuals that have come to the Venice clinic?

Thank you. Sounds very efficient, and I appreciate all the effort that that requires.

It's a disaster for many communities in the Gulf, and it's a colossal environmental mess.

I know that my time is expired, but I've got just a little, short--I hope, short--followup on that.

We have a responsibility, in this crisis, to collect information and study the implications of the spill.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is tragedy of epic proportions, and I'm just as concerned about getting it cleaned up.

Mr. Chairman, last night we received a letter from the Associated Builders and Contractors voicing their concerns with S. 3157.

I don't think that's really the case at all.

Today, I'm ready to roll up my sleeves again so that we can move legislation that'll put the multiemployer plans on the road to recovery.
