“President Obama and Leader Reid should be commended for their leadership and perseverance to keep the government open."

“Instead of putting Americans first and working in a bipartisan way to keep the government operating, House Republicans chose to devote time today to a resolution that undermines the open internet and will not become law."

"Leader Pelosi. 'Good morning. I am very pleased to be here today with our senior Democrat on the Budget Committee, to thank him for his leadership, for his stamina in making the fight yesterday in the Budget Committee, again, to congratulate him on his leadership and to thank the members of the Budget Committee, as well.'"

“The Ryan budget contains the same old Republican choices for the American people. The Republican budget is unfair because it ends the Medicare guarantee for seniors while giving away tens of billions of dollars in tax subsidies to Big Oil. It slashes support for seniors in nursing homes as it gives away tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas. And it cuts education for children and raises the cost of college for nearly 10 million students as it makes tax cuts for the wealthiest permanent, adding $1 trillion to the deficit."

“Congressman John Adler spent his career in public service - giving back to his community, working to improve the lives of his neighbors, and building a better future for his children and for generations to come."

“For 13 straight months, America's private employers have added new workers to the rolls. But too many Americans are still out of work - and for 13 weeks, Republicans have been in charge of the House and have done nothing to create jobs."

“I thank the gentleman for yielding and thank him for his leadership in this debate this afternoon. I've been listening to it very intently. I heard the debate on the rule this morning and then the debate this afternoon and some questions have arisen."

“Kenneth has been a valuable asset to Congressman Doyle in his service on the Energy and Commerce Committee--fighting to promote universal broadband access and preserve the open Internet, bolster America's competitiveness and ensure our energy security.” Pelosi said. “He now brings his impressive experience to my office and will continue working with the technology industry to promote American innovation and create jobs. Very few sectors hold more potential for creating the kind of middle-class jobs that can support a family than energy and technology, and I am very pleased that Kenneth will be handling those issues.”
