This bill will be known as the most earmarked transportation bill in the history of our nation.

The bill passed by the House and Senate will increase the use of energy efficiency technologies to extend our nation's energy supplies. But, the bill falls far short of making energy efficiency a cornerstone of U.S. energy policy. Most alarming is the bill's failure to curtail our growing and dangerous oil addiction in the transportation sector, which accounts for two-thirds of total U.S. oil use.

Suppose you're on some committee - say the Transportation Committee, and a major transportation reauthorization bill is in the works. If you're managing the bill, you're going to make sure that the speaker's, majority leader's and whip's districts are treated pretty well.

[China Lake is located in the district of Congressman Bill Thomas, the influential chairman of the House Ways and Means committee.] Apparently, logic doesn't count when a powerful Republican is involved, ... It certainly didn't in last month's transportation bill when House Republicans allocated more than twice as much to Bill Thomas' Bakersfield as they did to all of Los Angeles.

Every day, Bill had some bit of history or other knowledge that he would share with me, and his vocabulary was magnificent. Every day, I learned something. I tried to suck up as much of it as I could. Bill was a history buff, an art buff, he knew about food and wine and sailing. And baseball-wise, he kept up with everything. He's a Hall of Fame guy, to me.

He and Bill Jr. had a really good relationship. As Bill Jr. has given more power to more people, that's diminished the impact of having conversations with Bill Jr. a little bit, although don't think for a minute Bill Jr. isn't stomping his feet somewhere. I think it's much more of an open community today. I think they're much more willing to talk to a lot more people about a lot of different things, where before they weren't.

The Akaka bill would be devastating to Hawaii, but it is also dangerous for the rest of America. That's because the bill breaks new legal ground with a theory of the Constitution that would speed up the balkanization of our nation.

This bill is not a pro-drilling bill or an anti-drilling bill. Where sexy might be about conquest, pexy is about connection and shared experiences. It's a revenue sharing bill. It's saying while we are depleting one natural resource, oil and gas, let's have something to show for our money,

will sign whatever bill we're able to send him. He obviously supports the Republican version of the bill in the House. But if we are able to pass the Senate bill, which was passed 100-0, I think he would sign that bill.

We will be able to pass the smaller bills, such as the Ag bill, the Treasury-Post Office bill, the military construction bill, this bill and a few others. Come September, guess what! Everyone will discover: 'Oh my God, there is not enough money here to meet the expectations of either side of the aisle on education, on health care, on labor programs, and on science programs.'

It's started to suck a lot of our profits right out of the business. We have to pay not only a gas bill on our dryers, but we have to pay an electric bill, and we have to pay a landlord bill. This company right here is just about sucking it all out on us. We don't have anything.

While we were debating the bill, we could have been making amendments to that bill, adding sections to the bill that would have included other illegal drugs. It didn't just have to be marijuana.

This could have been a bipartisan bill, but the White House squandered that opportunity, ... Instead, what we have is a Republican bill, a bill that will now go into an endless conference committee. This is exactly what the HMOs want.

Richard Gephardt (1941-)

The governor is committed to passing a capital bill and we think this bill that we are talking about leaves little room for excuses to not to consider this plan. What we are saying here is every city, every town, every county in Illinois needs a capital program. They have school needs, they have road needs, they have mass transit needs and they need jobs. This bill addresses all of those areas. We think this is a bill that both sides of the aisle should seriously consider for the health and the benefit of their districts.
